Increased left ventricular dilation and reduced systolic function are consistently associated
with a poor prognosis and worse clinical outcomes. In this review, we discuss the …

Adverse remodelling following an initial insult is the hallmark of heart failure (HF)
development and progression. It is manifested as changes in size, shape, and function of the …

Background Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is a common finding among patients with
heart failure (HF) and it is related to adverse events. Outcomes in patients undergoing …

Objectives. To compare percutaneous mitral valve repair (PMVR) with optimal medical
therapy (OMT) in patients with heart failure (HF) and severe functional mitral regurgitation …

Background Despite optimal medical therapy and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT),
significant functional mitral regurgitation (MR) persisted in 30% of the patients and labeled …

Aims The aim of this study is to evaluate changes in cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET)
after percutaneous mitral valve repair (PMVR) with MitraClip in patients with heart failure …

Significant mitral regurgitation (MR) may be present in up to half of patients with heart failure
(HF) and it is associated with adverse cardiac remodeling and myocardial stretch. These are …

Background Limited information has been reported regarding the impact of percutaneous
mitral valve repair (PMVR) on ventricular arrhythmic (VA) burden. The aim of this study was …
