Filter by:Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) affects up to 3% of the general population and a small subset of patients is at risk for ventricular arrhythmias. This subgroup is referred to as AMVP (arrhythmic MVP) and was recently defined using the following criteria: (1) Presence of MVP), (2) Ventricular arrhythmia that is either frequent (≥5% total premature ventricular contraction (PVC) burden on Holter) or complex (non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (nsVT), ventricular tachycardia (VT), or ventricular fibrillation (VF)), and (3) The absence of any other well-defined arrhythmic substrate. Currently, diagnosis is often based on repeated 24-hour Holter monitoring. However, the ventricular arrhythmia burden varies from day-to-day and long-term rhythm monitoring has shown in other pathologies to increase the diagnostic yield with up to 200% (from 22.5% on 24h to 75.3% on 14 days). This pilot study aims to study the diagnostic yield of long-term rhythm monitoring in patients with MVP as well as the day-to-day variability of ventricular arrhythmias to facilitate power calculation for a future large-scale prospective registry.
This is a multicenter, observational prospective and retrospective study which aims are: 1) to compute a scoring model potentially predictive for the diagnosis of fibrosis by CMR in patients with MVP; 2) to identify specific features that may predispose to ≥ mild VAs or SCD in patients with MVP.
Study objectives: - To assess the impact of mitral valve surgery for mitral regurgitation on ventricular arrhythmic burden and surrogate markers of fibrosis in patients with arrhytmogenic mitral valve prolapse (MVP) from baseline to 6 months after surgery - To characterize the molecular landscape of arrhytmogenic MVP Study design: -Prospective explorative observational study Study population: -90 patients with arrhytmogenic MVP and without arrhytmogenic MVP (controls) eligible for mitral valve surgery for mitral regurgitation will be enrolled. All patients will be evaluated with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and continuous seven day arrhythmic monitoring before and at 6 months after mitral valve surgery
FLECAPRO is a randomized controlled crossover trial assessing the effect and safety of adding flecainide to standard beta-blocker therapy to reduce the burden of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse. The primary endpoint of will be assessed using an implantable loop recorder with blinded endpoint adjudication.
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is associated with malignant ventricular arrhythmias (VA) and sudden cardiac death. A proper electrophysiological and echocardiographic characterization of this population is missing. Moreover, the effects of mitral valve repair on the arrhythmic burden are still matter of debate. The investigators sought to explore the role of the arrhythmic substrate in the risk stratification of patients with MVP and to assess whether mitral surgery is followed by a significant modification of the baseline arrhythmic pattern.
Primary mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most common valvular disease in western countries. The MR mechanism is often related to a mitral valve prolapse (MVP) defined as a single or bi-leaflet prolapse of at least 2 mm beyond the long-axis mitral annular plane. In recent years, several studies have identified a subtype of MVP patients at higher risk of ventricular arrhythmias (VA) and sudden cardiac death (SCD). The presence of regional myocardial replacement fibrosis (RMRF) has been shown as a risk marker of arrhythmic events (VA and SCD) in patients with MVP. RMRF can be identified using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE+). In these patients, fibrosis was found in the basal inferolateral myocardium and at the level of papillary muscles (PMs). This fibrosis is developed beyond the volume overload related to the MVP. It is probably linked to the mechanical stretch acting upon the valve and the neighboring left ventricle (LV) myocardium. RMRF is associated with a high degree of MR, with specific features of mitral valve apparatus (bi-leaflet prolapse with marked leaflet redundancy, mitral annulus abnormalities (i.e. Mitral-Annular Disjunction)), and more dilated LV. It is also independently associated with the occurrence of cardiovascular events. Mitral valve repair (MVr) is the gold standard treatment for primary Mitral Regurgitation. Very little data concerning the impact of preoperative RMRF on mitral valve surgery outcomes is available, and the impact of myocardial fibrosis on the postoperative left ventricle remodeling has not been studied so far. No previous study compares preoperative and postoperative fibrosis evolution. Thus, no data exists regarding the postoperative evolution of this fibrosis and its relationship with ventricular arrhythmic risk after valve surgery. Small observational studies have suggested that mitral valve surgery did not reduce the risk of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with bileaflet MVP. Finally, the mechanisms involved in the development of regional myocardial replacement fibrosis within the left ventricle myocardium during the natural history of MVP cannot be understood with current standard medical imaging tools. Numerical simulation technologies provide an innovative and in-vivo approach to assess the physical and pathological mechanisms causing this fibrosis. They can also be used to assess the changes in mitral valve and myocardium dynamics after surgical mitral valve repair procedures. A large consortium, involving physicians and scientists, has been created to address these questions to fulfil our objectives over a 4 year period (SIMR project).
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a frequent affection of the mitral valve with a prevalence of 2-3% in the general population. This valvular disease is generally considered as benign, but may at term evolve toward mitral valve regurgitation of various severity and/or arrhythmia. Mitral valve prolapse is routinely diagnosed using transthoracic echocardiography. Subsequent examinations (24-hour external loop recording, exercise electrocardiogram, cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and a close follow-up can be proposed to the patient depending on its condition. More recently, detection of myocardial fibrosis and a mitral ring disjunction among patients with MVP were associated with the occurrence of severe ventricular arrhythmia. The investigators hypothesize that ventricular remodeling over time is mediated by the progression of mitral insufficiency severity from myocardial fibrosis secondary to MVP and possibly promoted by other mitral valve abnormalities. This remodeling, characterized by circulating biomarkers and imaging (MRI and echocardiography), could allow the identification of patients with a higher risk of severe ventricular arrhythmia. The main objective of this study is to identify prognostic factors for unfavorable evolution (ventricular remodeling or a rhythm disorder event) at 3 years from initial assessments in MVP patients.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the 5-year outcomes of participants with degenerative mitral valve disease treated with the NeoChord Artificial Chordae System, Model DS1000 in a post-market setting.
Phenotypic characterisation of MVP by echocardiography in families. Identification of genes involved in MVP.
Minimally invasive transapical off-pump chordae implantation includes features such as tachycardia, arrhythmia, hemorrhage, sudden hemodynamic changes caused by the device moving in the left ventricle and the atrium, for anesthetists. In this observational study, the investigators presented the investigators's hemodynamic recuperation and anesthesia experiences revealed by cardiac output measurement after transapical mitral valve repair.
