However, its clinical, functional and prognostic implications have not been thoroughly explored in secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR). Results A total of 2011 patients were included (mean age 70% and 41% females), with 71% having SADMR. We sought to describe the implications of severe atrial dilation (SAD) in SMR.

Background Correction of mitral regurgitation (MR) at the time of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation remains controversial. Methods This is a retrospective single-centre study of 155 consecutive patients with LVAD implantation from January 2011 to March 2020. Statistical analysis was performed using STATA V.16

The researchers analyzed 200k nationwide adults who underwent SAVR between 2011 and 2022, finding that… Annual SAVR volumes decreased by 45% (19,560 to 10,851). to 55% of total SAVRs), while SAVR ratios increased among patients with bicuspid aortic valves (from 15.5% to 54.5%), but declined among 65-79yr (49.2%

Though there are several parameters for evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function by echocardiography, the most commonly used are the pulsed Doppler mitral E/A ratio and tissue Doppler mitral E/e’ ratio. Doppler interrogation of mitral valve is usually done from the apex through the apical four chamber view.

In as early as 1958, the first heart surgery -a closed mitral commissurotomy on a 30-year-old man with rheumatic mitral stenosis- was performed by Professor Ton That Tung, setting the stage for many decades of cardiac surgical endeavours to come. In 1964, deep hypothermia was first used, followed by the cardiopulmonary bypass in 1965.

Methods and Results All consecutive patients ( n =264) with previous ICD who underwent LVAD surgery between May 2011 and December 2019 at our institution were included. ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate the predictive value of preoperative echocardiographic parameters for occurrence of VAs in patients with preexisting ICD undergoing LVAD implantation.

During medical school, one of the classic bedside exam questions we get is how to differentiate the valve issues of aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation, which produce similar but different murmurs when you listen with a stethoscope. “How can you tell the difference between aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation at the bedside?”
