Multimodality Imaging in Secondary Mitral Regurgitation

Imaging challenges in secondary mitral regurgitation: unsolved issues and perspectives.

Defining “Severe” Secondary Mitral€Regurgitation

Fro Pla De Ce #D No ve rec Dia La res ET Me Ge lat Lis Yo Ma Secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) is associated with poor outcomes, but its correction does not reverse the underlying left ventricular (LV) pathology or improve the prognosis. The recently published American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology guidelines on valvular heart disease generated considerable controversy by r...

Secondary Mitral Regurgitation in€Heart€Failure

Ma The development of secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) due to left ventricular dysfunction, also known as functional MR, is strongly associated with a poor prognosis in patients with heart failure. The mechanisms underlying secondary MR are multifactorial; accurate imaging assessment of secondary MR may be challenging and nuanced; and the appropriate roles of medical, surgical, and intervent...

Multimodality Imaging in Transcatheter Mitral Interventions

Both echocardiography (specifically transesophageal echocardiography [TEE]) and multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT) have played an integral role in preprocedural planning for transcatheter aortic valve replacement, heavily influencing the moniker of “multimodality imaging.” The strengths of each modalities are complementary (Table), although there is overlap between the preprocedural a...
