Outcome of watchful waiting in asymptomatic severe mitral regurgitation.
BACKGROUND The management of asymptomatic severe mitral regurgitation remains controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of a watchful waiting strategy in which patients are referred to surgery when symptoms occur or when asymptomatic patients develop left ventricular (LV) enlargement, LV dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension, or recurrent atrial fibrillation. METHODS AND ...
متن کاملLong-term clinical outcome of mitral valve repair in asymptomatic severe mitral regurgitation.
OBJECTIVE To assess the long-term survival, the incidence of cardiac complications and the factors that predict outcome in asymptomatic patients with severe degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR) undergoing mitral valve repair. METHODS Up to 143 asymptomatic patients (mean age 63+/-12 years) with severe degenerative MR who underwent mitral valve repair between 1990 and 2001 were subsequently ...

undergoing cardioversion ~24 hours after TEE. At 6 months follow-up the presence of SR or AF was available in 276 patients. Baseline clinical variables and TEE parameters were compared between these Qroups. Results: At 6 months follow-up, 194 (70%) patients were in SR and 82 (30%) patients were in AF. Baseline clinical and TEE variables are displayed in Table 1 (’ p<O.O5). Patients in SR were s...
متن کاملSurgery for Asymptomatic Severe Mitral Regurgitation in the Elderly
Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of death in subjects 75 years of age, a healthcare problem that will increase as the population continues to age. In the United States, the predicted population 75 years of age will exceed 50 million by the year 2038. Epidemiological studies have shown that the prevalence of mitral regurgitation (MR) also increases progressively with age; thus, MR is a ...
متن کاملLeft ventricular contractile reserve in asymptomatic primary mitral regurgitation.
AIMS There are very few data regarding the assessment and prognostic value of left ventricular contractile reserve (LVCR) in asymptomatic patients with primary mitral regurgitation (MR). We aimed to quantify LVCR and to evaluate its usefulness for risk stratification in asymptomatic patients with primary MR. METHODS AND RESULTS Comprehensive resting and exercise (EX) transthoracic echocardiog...
