Leaflet remodelling in functional mitral valve regurgitation: characteristics, determinants, and relation to regurgitation severity
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Recently, it has been hypothesized that mitral leaflet remodelling may play a role in the pathophysiology of functional mitral regurgitation (FMR). We investigated the characteristics, determinants, and relation of mitral leaflet remodelling to FMR severity.
METHODS AND RESULTS: Three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiographic data of the mitral valve (MV) were studied in 30 patients with FMR ≥ grade 3 (≥3), 24 patients with FMR …
