Effects of eythropoietin administration on mitral regurgitation and left ventricular remodeling in heart failure patients.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of erythropoietin administration on mitral regurgitation in patients with congestive heart failure have not yet been examined. After 2 months, erythropoietin treatment results in a significant reduction in left ventricular volumes and mitral regurgitation severity and improves hemodynamics.

اثر PercutaneousCoronary Intervention Elective بر بهبودی نارسایی ایسکمیک میترال
Introdution: Ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) remains one of the most complex and unresolved aspects of ischemic heart disease that the impact of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on improvement of intensity of ischemic mitral regurgitation is not well clarified. Patients with coronary artery diseases and ischemic mitral regurgitation have a worse prognosis than the patients with coro...
متن کاملMitral valve surgery in advanced heart failure.
The appropriateness and timing of mitral valve surgery in patients with advanced heart failure and severe mitral regurgitation remains controversial. Recent surgical results provide evidence for beneficial effects on left ventricular remodeling and functional capacity. Given the absence of randomized trials comparing the outcomes of mitral valve surgery to medical therapy, however, clinical dec...
متن کاملMechanisms for improvement of cardiac performance by nifedipine in an acute mitral regurgitation in dogs.
To elucidate the mechanisms of the beneficial hemodynamic action of nifedipine in congestive heart failure, the systolic and diastolic hemodynamic parameters were evaluated for 30 min after sublingual administration of 20 mg of nifedipine in 12 dogs with acute mitral regurgitation (group 1) and in 5 dogs without mitral regurgitation (group 2, sham operation group). An additional 6 dogs with mit...
متن کاملHeart Failure Long-Term Effects of Sildenafil in a Rat Model of Chronic Mitral Regurgitation Benefits of Ventricular Remodeling and Exercise Capacity
Background—We tested the hypothesis that chronic treatment with sildenafil attenuates left ventricular (LV) remodeling and prevents exercise intolerance in chronic mitral regurgitation (MR). Methods and Results—MR was created in Sprague-Dawley rats by making a hole on the mitral leaflet. Two weeks after MR creation, MR and LV dilatation were confirmed by echocardiography, and rats were randomly...

Certain subsets of high-risk mitral valve patients are not suitable candidates for transcatheter therapies. The objective of this report is to present a young patient with combined mitral valve and coronary artery disease to illustrate these challenges.In this report, we present a 47-year-old man with longstanding HIV infection who was referred with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and profound...
