Prevalence of pulmonary hypertension in mitral regurgitation and its influence on outcomes

Open Heart

JUNE 6, 2023

Objective Pulmonary hypertension (PHT) commonly coexists with significant mitral regurgitation (MR), but its prevalence and prognostic importance have not been well characterised. In a large cohort of adults with moderate or greater MR, we aimed to describe the prevalence and severity of PHT and assess its influence on outcomes.

What is the reason for sudden breathlessness at night in those with heart disease?

Sudden breathlessness at night in those with known heart disease is usually due to collection of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema). Extra fluid in the body can occur due to failure of heart, kidneys, liver and rarely due to other causes.

Transcript of video: Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome is a very severe form of congenital heart disease, in which, the left ventricle, aorta and mitral and aortic valves are hypoplastic and valves may be atretic as well. This is diagrammatic representation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome.

Like the heart chambers, there are four heart valves between each of the chambers. The bicuspid or mitral valve is the left atrioventricular valve is. The pulmonary semilunar valve is between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk. Veins, on the other hand, return deoxygenated blood to the heart.

This is the aortic valve in closed position and mitral valve also appears to be closed in position. From the images you do not know whether the mitral valve is really fully closed or almost about to be closed. You require multiple views to see from where the pulmonary arteries are arising. This could be a conus tissue.

Lowering the raised LA mean pressure is a major therapeutic goal in any severely symptomatic left heart disease, whether it is valvular or myocardial disease. We know a small ASD decompresses mitral stenosis, and the combination of ASD and MS, Lutembacher, is a well-known syndrome called Lutembacher. JAMA Cardiol.

Tracing in the lower part is tissue Doppler imaging from the medial mitral annulus. A good knowledge of the anatomy of the heart is needed for interpretation of images from each view. This becomes more difficult in complex congenital heart diseases where the cardiac chamber positions and size may vary.

Transcript of the video: Ebstein’s Anomaly is one of the cyanotic congenital heart disease in which survival to adult life is common. The cyanosis in Ebstein’s anomaly, is usually not due to pulmonary hypertension, but because tricuspid regurgitation jet is directed across the atrial septal defect.

However, if you freeze the ultrasound clip and scroll forwards and backwards to find a time during the clip where the patient’s mitral valve is open, you know the heart is filling, and is therefore in diastole. It is difficult to tell if there is collapse during diastole due to the patient’s tachycardia.

Rupture can be either free wall rupture (causing tamponade) or septal rupture, causing ventricular septal defect with left to right flow and resulting pulmonary edema and shock. New onset harsh systolic murmur in a patient with subacute completed MI is VSR or papillary muscle rupture (with acute mitral regurgitation) until proven otherwise.
