Echocardiographic assessment of ischemic mitral regurgitation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ischemic mitral regurgitation is an important consequence of LV remodeling after myocardial infarction. Echocardiographic diagnosis and assessment of ischemic mitral regurgitation are critical to gauge its adverse effects on prognosis and to attempt to tailor rational treatment strategy. There is no single approach to the echocardiographic assessment of ischemic mitral regurgitation: standard echocardiographic measures of mitral regurgitation severity and of LV dysfunction are complemented by assessments of displacement of the papillary muscles and quantitative indices of mitral valve deformation. Development of novel approaches to understand mitral valve geometry by echocardiography may improve understanding of the mechanism, clinical trajectory, and reparability of ischemic mitral regurgitation.

اثر PercutaneousCoronary Intervention Elective بر بهبودی نارسایی ایسکمیک میترال
Introdution: Ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) remains one of the most complex and unresolved aspects of ischemic heart disease that the impact of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on improvement of intensity of ischemic mitral regurgitation is not well clarified. Patients with coronary artery diseases and ischemic mitral regurgitation have a worse prognosis than the patients with coro...
متن کاملThree-dimensional echocardiographic analysis of mitral annular dynamics: implication for annuloplasty selection.
BACKGROUND Proponents of flexible annuloplasty rings have hypothesized that such devices maintain annular dynamics. This hypothesis is based on the supposition that annular motion is relatively normal in patients undergoing mitral valve repair. We hypothesized that mitral annular dynamics are impaired in ischemic mitral regurgitation and myxomatous mitral regurgitation. METHODS AND RESULTS A ...

متن کاملIschemic mitral regurgitation and its related risk after myocardial infarction.
In this issue of Circulation, Bursi et al 1 report that ischemic mitral regurgitation is a more common finding after myocardial infarction (MI) than was previously thought and is an independent predictor of heart failure and death among 30-day infarct survivors. Seldom is mitral regurgitation actively investigated, and investigation is often only prompted by clinical examination. The data Bursi...
متن کاملMitral valve repair for ischemic mitral regurgitation using the Carpentier-McCarthy-Adams IMR ETlogix® ring: medium-term echocardiographic findings.
The aims of this study were to review the principles underlying use of the Carpentier-McCarthy-Adams IMR ETlogix® asymmetric annuloplasty ring for the treatment of chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation and to report medium-term clinical outcomes observed at our center. The in-hospital mortality rate was 2.8%. Echocardiography at hospital discharge confirmed the absence of mitral regurgitation i...
