Degenerative mitral valve disease with emphasis on mitral valve prolapse.
Degenerative mitral valve disease is responsible for the syndromes of billowing mitral leaflet, mitral valve prolapse (MVP), floppy mitral valve, and flail leaflet. The pathology of these is mainly caused by myxomatous infiltration and fibroelastic deficiency. In the 1960s, Reid and Barlow and colleagues proposed that mid to late systolic clicks and apical late systolic murmurs were of mitral v...
متن کاملRecurrence of mitral valve regurgitation after mitral valve repair in degenerative valve disease.
BACKGROUND Durability assessment of mitral valve repair for degenerative valve incompetence is actually limited to reoperation as the primary indicator, with valve-related risk factors for late death as a secondary indicator. We assessed serial echocardiographic follow-up of valve function as an indicator of the durability of mitral valve repair. METHODS AND RESULTS In 242 patients who had un...
متن کاملRecurrence of Mitral Valve Regurgitation After Mitral Valve Repair in Degenerative Valve Disease
Background—Durability assessment of mitral valve repair for degenerative valve incompetence is actually limited to reoperation as the primary indicator, with valve-related risk factors for late death as a secondary indicator. We assessed serial echocardiographic follow-up of valve function as an indicator of the durability of mitral valve repair. Methods and Results—In 242 patients who had unde...
متن کاملEchocardiographic assessment of canine degenerative mitral valve disease.
Degenerative mitral valve disease (MVD), the most common acquired heart disease in small-sized dogs, is characterized by valvular degeneration resulting in systolic mitral valve regurgitation (MR). Worsening of MR leads to several combined complications including cardiac remodeling, increased left ventricular filling pressure, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and myocardial dysfunction. Convent...
متن کاملCause of degenerative disease of the trileaflet aortic valve.
Risk factors for both atherosclerotic aortic wall disease and degenerative disease of the trileaflet aortic valve are very similar if not identical. This correlation grows even stronger as the person advances in years. Because of this, it is the prevailing view that sclerosis of the trileaflet aortic valve, unless previously affected by septic or rheumatic endocarditis, is a disease similar in ...
