Restrictive Mitral Valve Annuloplasty: Prognostic Implications of Left Ventricular Forward Flow
Surgical mitral valve repair for severe secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) remains controversial. The association of MR reduction and changes in left ventricular (LV) hemodynamics with survival has not been investigated. We investigated the independent associates of outcomes in heart failure patien...

Zusammenfassung: | Surgical mitral valve repair for severe secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) remains controversial. The association of MR reduction and changes in left ventricular (LV) hemodynamics with survival has not been investigated. We investigated the independent associates of outcomes in heart failure patients with severe secondary MR who underwent surgical mitral valve repair.
Patients (n = 130, 62 ± 12 years old, 55% men) with chronic severe secondary MR and impaired LV ejection fraction ( |
