Systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve (MV) can be a life-threatening condition.
The SAM can result in severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and/or mitral …

This paper provides a review of engineering applications and computational methods used
to analyze the dynamics of heart valve closures in healthy and diseased states …

OBJECTIVE: It is uncertain whether mitral valve replacement is really inferior to mitral valve
repair for the treatment of chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation. This multicenter study aimed …

Abstract Aims Mechanical complications (MCs) are rare but potentially fatal sequelae of
acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Surgery, though challenging, is considered the treatment …

In degenerative valve disease, the highly organized mitral valve leaflet matrix stratification is
progressively destroyed and replaced with proteoglycan rich, mechanically inadequate …

Acute ischaemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) is an increasingly rare and challenging
complication following acute myocardial infarction. Despite recent technical advances in …

The surgical repair of degenerative mitral valve disease involves a number of technical
points of importance. The use of artificial chordae for the repair of degenerative disease has …

Degenerative mitral valve disease is the leading cause of mitral regurgitation in North
America. Surgical intervention has hinged on the symptoms and ventricular changes that …

Background The optimal treatment of patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) at high
surgical risk (HSR) is unknown. Recently, the EVEREST II (Endovascular Valve Edge‐to …
