Background The majority of patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) are
amenable to reconstructive procedures. There is debate regarding factors that influence …

Objectives: In this study, the authors hypothesized that intraprocedural improvement of
pulmonary venous (PV) waveforms are predictive of improved outcomes. In this report, they …

Until recently, conventional mitral valve surgery has been the treatment of choice even in
secondary mitral regurgitation. Recent evidence, however, advocates the use of …

Background The authors describe a previously unreported Doppler signal associated with
mitral regurgitation (MR) as imaged using transthoracic echocardiography. Horizontal …

Although real-time 3D echocardiography (RT3DE) has only been introduced in the last
decades, its use still needs to be improved since it is a time-consuming and operator …

Heart failure (HF) is more prevalent in women compared with men and remains a leading
cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Currently, 3 million women live with …

Recent randomised percutaneous mitral intervention trials in patients with heart failure with
secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) have yielded contrasting results. A 'relative load'or …

In order to achieve the classification of mitral regurgitation, a deep learning network VDS-
UNET was designed to automatically segment the critical regions of echocardiography with …

Secondary (functional) mitral regurgitation (SMR) most commonly arises secondary to left
ventricular (LV) dilation/dysfunction. The concept of disproportionately severe SMR was …

Percutaneous mitral valve repair is an important procedure for patients at high risk of
surgical mitral valve repair. Multi-modality Cardiac Imaging plays a key role in these …
