BACKGROUND: Mortality for patients with coronary artery disease and functional ischemic
mitral regurgitation (IMR) remains high regardless of the treatment strategy. Data regarding …

Aims The aim of the current study was to evaluate the relationship between the presence of
left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony at baseline and acute vs. late improvement in mitral …

Secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) occurs as a result of multifactorial left atrioventricular
dysfunction and maleficent remodelling. It is the most common and undertreated form of …

Ventricular assist devices (VADs) are systems for mechanical circulatory support of the
patient with severe heart failure. Perioperative transesophageal echocardiography is a …

Background—Previously published evidence on ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) and its
adverse prognosis after myocardial infarction has been based on the severity of IMR in the …

Objectives: This study sought to assess the safety and efficacy of transcatheter valve
annuloplasty in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR). Background: Mitral regurgitation is …
