Abstract Background The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is an alternative to insulin
resistance (IR) as an early indicator of worsening heart failure (HF). Patients with secondary …

Ischemic mitral regurgitation is an important consequence of LV remodeling after myocardial
infarction. Echocardiographic diagnosis and assessment of ischemic mitral regurgitation are …

Background—Management of severe ischemic mitral regurgitation remains difficult with
disappointing early and intermediate-term surgical results of valve repair. Methods and …

Chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) is a common complication of myocardial
infarction and severely affects cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Multiple …

Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is one the most common complications of myocardial
infarction (MI) in adults carrying a significant clinical and economic burden. Despite specific …

Objective The symmetry of mitral valve tethering and regional left ventricle wall dysfunction
are reported to play a fundamental role in the outcomes and long-term durability of surgical …

Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is a common complication of left ventricle (LV)
dysfunction and remodelling. Recently, it has been recognized as an independent …

Cardiovascular 3-dimensional printing refers to the fabrication of patients' specific cardiac
anatomic replicas based on volumetric imaging data sets obtained by echocardiography …

BACKGROUND: The surgical treatment of ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR) usually
involves implantation of an annuloplasty ring. We compared results of mitral valve repair …

Background Recently, it has been hypothesized that mitral leaflet remodelling may play a
role in the pathophysiology of functional mitral regurgitation (FMR). We investigated the …
