In acute heart failure caused by VHD, symptoms result from rapid haemodynamic changes and subsequent decline in cardiac function, and if left untreated, leads to acute decompensation and cardiogenic shock. Abstract Worldwide, valvular heart disease (VHD) is a common cause of hospitalization for acute heart failure.

Despite its high prevalence, effective treatment for degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR) remains elusive. Serial echocardiography and pressure-volume loops were utilized to assess cardiac function and hemodynamics. Despite its high prevalence, effective treatment for degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR) remains elusive.
