Filter by:- Chronic severe mitral regurgitation can lead to symptoms and left ventricular dysfunction. - The purpose of this study is to prospectively follow patients with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy who are eligible for mitral valve repair surgery and primarily measure the quality of life through the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire & the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire.
The primary aim of this study is to assess the changes on the shape and function of the left ventricle in patients with severe mitral valve regurgitation due to congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy who undergo mitral valve reconstruction with a Geoform ring. Three-dimensional echocardiogram will be used for precise evaluation of the shape and function of the ventricle.
The purpose of the present prospective, randomized study is to investigate the clinical effectiveness of standardized left ventricular reconstruction surgery (LVR). In order to standardize the procedure, the operation will be performed with the Blue Egg, manufactured by BioVentrix, a subsidiary of CHF Technologies, Inc.
This study will determine whether an acute infusion of intravenous allopurinol improves the inotropic response to dobutamine in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) as measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR).
