Predicting postoperative systolic dysfunction in mitral regurgitation: CT vs. echocardiography

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Introduction Volume overload from mitral regurgitation can result in left ventricular systolic dysfunction. We compared volumetric CT-based and 2D echocardiographic indices of LV size and function as predictors of post-operative systolic dysfunction following mitral repair. Validation with prospective study is warranted.

Clinical, functional and prognostic implications of severe atrial dilation in secondary mitral regurgitation

Open Heart

However, its clinical, functional and prognostic implications have not been thoroughly explored in secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR). We sought to describe the implications of severe atrial dilation (SAD) in SMR.

Systemic immune–inflammation index for predicting postoperative atrial fibrillation following cardiac surgery: a meta-analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Results Eight studies published between 2021 and 2023 with 3,245 patients were included. Six studies involved coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery; one encompassed various cardiac procedures, and another focused solely on mitral valve surgery. The pooled incidence of POAF was 23.6% [95% confidence interval (CI), 18.7%–29.2%].

Transcatheter Closure or Surgery for Symptomatic Paravalvular Leaks: The Multicenter KISS Registry

Journal of the American Heart Association

years) patients who underwent treatment of PVL at 3 tertiary centers between January 2002 and December 2021 were included. Three hundred cases (89.6%) had mitral PVL, and 35 (10.4%) had aortic PVL. Echocardiographic features, procedure details, and in‐hospital or long‐term outcomes were assessed. Technical (78.9 versus 76.2%;P=0.549)
