Project description:A 77-year-old male presented to the emergency department with dyspnea. A third-degree atrioventricular block was present in the electrocardiogram and an echocardiography showed a moderate mitral regurgitation with a diastolic functional insufficiency. Hemodynamic variations were assessed in the context of heart rhythm disturbances. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Project description:Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a particularly dynamic valvular disorder. Extreme bradycardia can lead to prolonged left ventricular filling time and mitral annular dilatation, hence causing secondary MR in a structurally normal mitral valve.

Project description:BackgroundDiastolic mitral regurgitation (DMR) is a type of functional mitral regurgitation. Its occurrence in the diastolic phase of cardiac cycle renders DMR an easily ignored entity. Confusing it with systolic mitral regurgitation occasionally happens. The reversal of left atrioventricular pressure gradient during diastole and the incomplete closure of mitral valve are the essential conditions for DMR. Diastolic mitral regurgitation develops under various situations, where the mechanisms of diastolic reversal of left atrioventricular pressure gradient differ.Case summaryPatient 1 was a 50-year-old man diagnosed with 2:1 second-degree atrioventricular block (AVB). Patient 2 was a 70-year-old man diagnosed with first-degree AVB. Patient 3 was a 66-year-old man diagnosed with atrial fibrillation with long intermission and occasional atrial flutter with unequal conduction. Patient 4 was a 54-year-old woman diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy with complete left bundle branch block. Patient 5 was a 36-year-old man diagnosed with severe acute aortic regurgitation secondary to subacute bacterial endocarditis.DiscussionAlthough the degree of DMR is relatively mild, its appearance generally prompts further clinical considerations. The appreciation of DMR has an incremental value for diagnosing and evaluating the underlying cardiovascular disease.

Project description:ObjectiveThe relationship of mitral annular (MA) kinetics to left ventricular (LV) and left atrial (LA) function before and after mitral valve (MV) repair has not been well studied. Here we sought to provide comprehensive analysis that relates to MA motions, and LA and LV diastolic function post MV repair.MethodsThree-dimensional analyses of mitral annular motion, LA function, and LV volumetric and diastolic strain rates were performed on 35 degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR) patients at baseline and 1-year post MV repair, and 51 normal controls, utilizing cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with tissue tagging.ResultsAll had normal LV ejection fraction (EF) at baseline. LV and LA EFs decreased 1-year post-surgery vs. controls. LV early diastolic myocardial strain rates decreased post-surgery along with decreases in normalized early diastolic filling rate, E/A ratio, and early diastolic MA relaxation rates. Post-surgical LA late active kick remained higher in MR patients vs. control. LV and LA EFs were significantly associated with peak MA centroid to apex shortening. Furthermore, during LV systolic phase, peak LV ejection and LA filling rates were significantly correlated with peak MA centroid to apex shortening rate, respectively. While during LV diastolic phase, both peak early diastolic MA centroid to apex relaxation rate and LA ejection rate were positively significantly associated with LV peak early diastolic filling rate.ConclusionMA motion is significantly associated with LA and LV function. Mitral annular motion, left atrial function, and LV diastolic strain rates are still impaired 1 year post MV repair. Long-term effects of these impairments should be prospectively evaluated.

Project description:Exercise hemodynamic catheterization is helpful to evaluate exertional symptoms when noninvasive investigations fail to provide an explanation in non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. In this case, a rate-related left bundle branch block resulted in severe dynamic mitral regurgitation and acute increase in pulmonary capillary wedge pressure. Cardiac resynchronization therapy resolved her symptoms. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Project description:Objectives: To assess the prevalence and impact of mitral regurgitation (MR) on survival in patients presenting to hospital in acute heart failure (AHF) using traditional echocardiographic assessment alongside more novel indices of proportionality. Background: It remains unclear if the severity of MR plays a significant role in determining outcomes in AHF. There is also uncertainty as to the clinical relevance of indexing MR to left ventricular volumes. This concept of disproportionality has not been assessed in AHF. Methods: A total of 418 consecutive patients presenting in AHF over 12 months were recruited and followed up for 2 years. MR was quantitatively assessed within 24 h of recruitment. Standard proximal isovelocity surface area (PISA) and a novel proportionality index of effective regurgitant orifice/left ventricular end-diastolic volume (ERO/LVEDV) >0.14 mm2/ml were used to identify severe and disproportionate MR. Results: Every patient had MR. About 331/418 (78.9%) patients were quantifiable by PISA. About 165/418 (39.5%) patients displayed significant MR. A larger cohort displayed disproportionate MR defined by either a proportionality index using ERO/LVEDV > 0.14 mm2/ml or regurgitant volumes/LVEDV > 0.2 [217/331 (65.6%) and 222/345 (64.3%), respectively]. The LVEDV was enlarged in significant MR-129.5 ± 58.95 vs. 100.0 ± 49.91 ml in mild, [p < 0.0001], but remained within the normal range. Significant MR was associated with a greater mortality at 2 years {44.2 vs. 34.8% in mild MR [hazard ratio (HR) 1.39; 95% CI: 1.01-1.92, p = 0.04]}, which persisted with adjustment for comorbid conditions (HR; 1.43; 95% CI: 1.04-1.97, p = 0.03). Disproportionate MR defined by ERO/LVEDV >0.14 mm2/ml was also associated with worse outcome [42.4 vs. 28.3% (HR 1.62; 95% CI 1.12-2.34, p = 0.01)]. Conclusions: MR was a universal feature in AHF and determines outcome in significant cases. Furthermore, disproportionate MR, defined either by effective regurgitant orifice (ERO) or volumetrically, is associated with a worse prognosis despite the absence of adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling. These findings outline the importance of adjusting acute volume overload to LV volumes and call for a review of the current standards of MR assessment.

Project description:BackgroundFunctional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is common in critically ill patients and may cause left atrial (LA) pressure elevation. This study aims to explore the prognostic impact of synergistic LA pressure elevation and FMR in patients with shock.MethodsWe retrospectively screened 130 consecutive patients of 175 patients with shock from April 2016 to June 2017. The incidence and impact of FMR and early diastolic transmitral velocity to early mitral annulus diastolic velocity ratio (E/e') ≥ 4 within 6 h of shock on the prognosis of patients were evaluated. Finally, the synergistic effect of FMR and E/e' were assessed by combination, grouping, and trend analyses.ResultsForty-four patients (33.8%) had FMR, and 15 patients (11.5%) had E/e' elevation. A multivariate analysis revealed FMR and E/e' as independent correlated factors for 28-day mortality (P = 0.043 and 0.028, respectively). The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed a significant difference in survival between patients with and without FMR (χ2 = 7.672, P = 0.006) and between the E/e' ≥ 14 and E/e' < 14 groups (χ2 = 19.351, P < 0.010). Twenty-eight-day mortality was significantly different among the four groups (χ2 = 30.141, P < 0.010). The risk of 28-day mortality was significantly higher in group 4 (E/e' ≥ 14 with FMR) compared with groups 1 (E/e' < 14 without FMR) and 2 (E/e' < 14 with FMR) (P = 0.001 and 0.046, respectively).ConclusionsPatients with shock can be identified by the presence of FMR. FMR and E/e' are independent risk factors for a poor prognosis in these patients, and prognosis is worst when FMR and E/e' ≥ 14 are present. It may be possible to improve prognosis by reducing LA pressure and E/e'.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03082326.
