چکیده

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) reduces functional mitral regurgitation (MR) at rest. This study assessed exercise-induced changes in MR in patients with heart failure who were helped by CRT. The determinants of these exercise-induced changes in MR were analyzed in asynchronous and resynchronized left ventricles.

Valvular Heart Disease Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy as a Therapeutic Option in Patients With Moderate-Severe Functional Mitral Regurgitation and High Operative Risk

Background—Functional mitral regurgitation (MR) is a common finding in heart failure patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and has important prognostic implications. However, the increased operative risk of these patients may result in low referral or high denial rate for mitral valve surgery. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been shown to have a favorable effect on MR. Aims of this s...

Acute effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy on functional mitral regurgitation in advanced systolic heart failure.

OBJECTIVES We studied the acute effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on functional mitral regurgitation in heart failure (HF) patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB). BACKGROUND Both an decrease [corrected] in left ventricular (LV) closing force and mitral valve tethering have been implicated as mechanisms for functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) in dilated hearts. We hyp...

Coexistence of dynamic mitral regurgitation and dynamic left ventricular dyssynchrony in a patient with repeated episodes of acute pulmonary edema: improvement with cardiac resynchronization therapy.

A 69-year-old woman with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy and chronic heart failure experienced repeated hospital admissions for acute pulmonary edema with no recognizable precipitating factor. Worsening mitral regurgitation was triggered by exercise echocardiography and significant intraventricular dyssynchrony was elicited by low-dose dobutamine stress echocardiography. After cardiac resynch...
