[Chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation: more treatment could mean better treatment].
Chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation (CIMR) is a frequent complication after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), appearing in approximately 20% of cases, and is far more frequent in inferior AMI (38%) than in anterior AMI (10%). The standard treatment of severe CIMR is coronary surgery combined with mitral valve replacement or repair. Historically, this procedure is associated with a high hospi...
متن کاملMitral regurgitation.
Accurate clinical assessment of the severity of mitral regurgitation is often difficult, and left ventricular cine-angiocardiography is probably the most commonly used method of estimating it. It is therefore important to try to determine the accuracy of this method and to identify as far as possible any causes of error. We have attempted to do this in a series of 137 patients submitted to oper...
متن کاملBeta-blockade for mitral regurgitation: could the management of valvular heart disease actually be moving into the 21st century?
Severe valvular heart disease comprises a group of lesions that impose a hemodynamic burden on potentially all 4 cardiac chambers. This burden is eventually fatal if left untreated by timely valve repair or valve replacement. However, defining the word timely is fraught with uncertainty. Ideally, the procedure should occur early enough to spare the patient from irreversible left or right ventri...
متن کاملMITRAL REGURGITATION Quantitation of mitral regurgitation by Doppler echocardiography
The evaluation and care of patients with mitral regurgitation would be facilitated by an easy, reproducible and noninvasive method that could quantitate the hemodynamic burden. In this study, we describe a new Doppler echocardiographic method that measures the regurgitant fraction and we compare it with angiographic and scintigraphic methods. A total of 27 patients with mitral regurgitation wer...
متن کاملPossible Effect of CABG on Moderate Mitral Regurgitation
Introduction: Mitral valve insufficiency in adults is often a complication of ischemic heart disease. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is performed as a strategy for the treatment of coronary artery disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate mitral regurgitation (MR) before and after CABG. Materials and Methods: This Experimental study was condu...
