Preoperative left ventricular end systolic dimension as a predictor of postoperative ventricular dysfunction in children with mitral regurgitation.
The timing of surgery has been a major problem in the management of chronic severe mitral regurgitation (MR). In adults, because of poor prognosis of postoperative left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, sequential echocardiographic assessment of LV function for optimal operation time is recommended. 2 However, in children, therapeutic guidelines of chronic MR are less well defined and severe sympto...
متن کاملIs mitral valve repair superior to replacement for chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation with left ventricular dysfunction?
BACKGROUND This study was undertaken to compare mitral valve repair and replacement as treatments for ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) with left ventricular dysfunction (LVD). Specifically, we sought to determine whether the choice of mitral valve procedure affected survival, and discover which patients were predicted to benefit from mitral valve repair and which from replacement. METHODS ...
متن کاملLeft ventricular dysfunction in symptomatic mitral valve prolapse.
Idiopathic MVP is characterized by a late systolic click or murmur from myxomatous mitral valvular dysfunction. It may be complicated by atypical chest pain, ventricular arrhythmias, and ECG changes that can mimic the symptoms of coronary artery disease. We prospectively performed radionuclide cineangiograms before and after stress tests in MVP patients with chest pain compared with asymptomati...
متن کاملImpact of mitral valve annuloplasty on mortality risk in patients with mitral regurgitation and left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to assess effects of mitral valve annuloplasty (MVA) on mortality in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) and left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. BACKGROUND Mitral valve annuloplasty improves hemodynamics and symptoms in these patients, but effects on long-term mortality are not well established. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed consecutive p...
متن کاملPredictors of left ventricular dysfunction following mitral valve repair for mitral regurgitation.
e read the study by Matsumura et al. (1) and the accompanying ditorial by Wisenbaugh (2) with great interest. Unfortunately, in eveloping countries, rheumatic heart disease remains the major ause for severe mitral regurgitation. Furthermore, many patients re seen for the first time when adverse echocardiographic charcteristics such as an ejection fraction 60% or an end-systolic iameter 45 mm ar...
