Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of a modified drug therapy with traditional drug therapy in pediatric patients after mitral repair. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can a modified drug therapy improve both left ventricular and mitral valve function in pediatric patients after mitral repair? - Can the adverse drug reactions caused by the modified drug therapy be non-inferior (clinically acceptable) to those of the traditional drug therapy? Participants will be assigned to either the Modified Drug Therapy Group (comprising angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE-I), beta-blockers, diuretics, potassium supplements, and spironolactone) or the Traditional Drug Therapy Group (diuretics and potassium supplements) based on personal preferences and clinical assessments by their attending physicians. They will undergo a 6-months course of medication. Additionally, echocardiography, electrocardiograms, complete blood counts, biochemical tests, and measurements of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were conducted before the initiation of medication therapy and at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after treatment commencement. Researchers will compare the Modified Drug Therapy Group and the Traditional Drug Therapy Group to see if the recurrence rate of moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation, as assessed by echocardiography after 6 months of treatment, is lower in the former than in the latter.
The goal of this observational study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of a 3-steps standardized repair-oriented strategy with annuloplasty only in pediatric patients with mild to moderate mitral valve regurgitation. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can 3-steps standardized repair-oriented strategy improve both left ventricular and mitral valve function in pediatric patients with mild to moderate mitral valve regurgitation? - Can surgical complications caused by the 3-steps standardized repair-oriented strategy be non-inferior (clinically acceptable) to annuloplasty only? Participants will be assigned to either the Standardized Group (including subvalvular apparatus rehabilitation (leaflet plication if chordae absent on leaflet margin, mal-connected chordae resection if chordae mal-connected to leaflet body, papillary muscle splitting if short chordae or dysplastic or fused papillary muscle etc.), leaflets repair (leaflets plication if functional leaflet prolapse, leaflet cleft closure and patch augmentation for anatomical leaflet defect, etc.) and annuloplasty (posterior annuloplasty for annular dilatation and shallow leaflet coaptation, etc.)) or the Annuloplasty Group (annuloplasty only during mitral repair surgeries. Additionally, echocardiography, electrocardiograms, and measurements of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were conducted before the initiation of surgery and at 1 months, 3 months, and 6 months after mitral repair. Researchers will compare the Standardized Group and the Annuloplasty Group to see if the recurrence rate of moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation, as assessed by echocardiography after 6 months of surgery, is lower in the former than in the latter.

They will undergo a one-year course of medication. Additionally, echocardiography, electrocardiograms, complete blood counts, biochemical tests, and measurements of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were conducted before the initiation of medication therapy and at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after treatment commencement. Researchers will compare the Modified Drug Therapy Group and the Traditional Drug Therapy Group to see if the recurrence rate of moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation, as assessed by echocardiography after 12 months of treatment, is lower in the former than in the latter.
The main objective of this study is to assess the hemodynamic effects of sacubitril-valsartan in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and at least moderate atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR), using a combination of cardiopulmonary exercise testing and stress echocardiography (referred to as CPETecho) at baseline and after six months of therapy. The patients included in this study will be randomly assigned to receive sacubitril-valsartan as an adjunct to standard medical care, as opposed to adhering solely to the standard of care which involves sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA).
The goal of the current research is to develop personalized risk prediction for functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) patients through explainable unsupervised phenomapping enriched with advanced cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging biomarkers, and to determine the CMR predictors of reverse remodeling following modern therapies for FMR. The prospective study entails aiming to recruit 360 adult patients (ages >18 years) with EF 10-50% and FMR RF> 20%, who are clinically referred for CMR evaluation. Patients who enroll in our study will be referred for optimization of mGDMT and will undergo follow-up CMR studies at 6months. NICM patients who are fully medically optimized with significant FMR at the time of the baseline CMR and are referred for Mitraclip treatment will undergo follow-up CMR 6 months from Mitraclip intervention. NICM patients referred for mGDMT optimization, but have persistent or progressive FMR at the time of 6 month follow-up CMR and referred for Mitraclip therapy, will undergo a 2nd follow-up CMR 6 months from Mitraclip therapy.
Mitral valve disease is the most common structure heart disease, and surgical valve replacement is an important treatment for severe mitral valve disease. There are 2 types of valve often been used, mechanical or biological protheses valves. Mechanical valve requires lifelong use of anticoagulants and take the risk of bleeding through all lifetime, but bioprotheses valve do not..
A prospective, observational cohort study designed to identify clinical phenotypes and evaluate predictors & outcomes of functional mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation in patients with atrial fibrillation. Participant will under go: - Baseline echocardiography - Cpex Echocardiography - Blood test: BNP - 1 year follow up Echocardiography Participants will be stratified into three subgroups: - Atrial Functional MR - Atrial Functional TR - Mixed MR & TR

Acquired heart diseases continue to remain one of the most common causes of cardiac mortality and morbidity. In the Russian Federation, open surgery treatment of acquired valvular heart diseases (AVHD) is performed in more than 40 regions by specialists from 92 healthcare organizations. Treating aortic or mitral valve disease using the "UniLine" biological prosthesis is expected to improve survival rates. Supposedly, in vivo the "UniLine" biological prosthesis will show optimal hemodynamic characteristics and high resistance to structural valve degeneration and infectious damage, thus lowering the risk of dysfunction. Moreover, the risk of repeated intervention due to dysfunction of the "UniLine" bioprosthesis should not exceed the risk of the primary implantation. Supposedly, in the case of dysfunction of "UniLine" bioprosthesis it would be possible to perform repeated replacement using valve-in-valve technique. The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness, safety, durability of the "UniLine" epoxy-treated prosthesis and the long-term outcome of the treatment of isolated mitral and aortic valve diseases using this prosthesis. In accordance with the objectives and hypothesis, the following data will be analyzed: actuarial and linear survival rates (general and cardiac), non-lethal prosthesis-associated complications, prosthetic dysfunction and repeated interventions. Moreover, in vivo hemodynamic parameters of the prosthesis will be assessed: the area of the effective opening surface, peak and mean gradient of pressure and blood flow velocity. The study will be conducted at the Research Institute of Complex Issues of Cardiovascular Diseases. Study protocol received sponsorship approval and approval by Local Ethics Committee of the Research Institute and Research Coordinating Committee. The study will enroll patients who underwent isolated mitral or aortic valve replacement; transthoracic echocardiography will be conducted in all patients available for in-person visit.
A significant reduction in the incidence of CV death or hospitalization for HF has been observed in randomized trials investigating the CV benefit of Dapagliflozin. Mechanistic investigations are required to interpret the positive clinical effects of Dapagliflozin on heart structure and valvular regurgitation.
