Mitral valve regurgitation (MR) is a common problem in patients with cardiac issues especially those with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) due to mitral annular dilatation and malcoaptation of the mitral valve leaflets. Although DCM is associated with high mortality rates, there has been no global agreement about the best method of treatment. Treatment of MR in such cases can be done by surgery, which has many limitations due to high-risk concerns. MR may also be managed by other alternatives such as mitral-clip and transcoronary venous mitral annuloplasty using the Carillon® Mitral Contour System®. Combined therapy with a cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) and mitral contour can be used in such cases with valuable improvement in general condition in many patients. In our case, we used the Carillon Mitral Contour System for treatment of severe MR in a 64-year-old patient with severely impaired systolic function after implantation of a CRT-D.

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is associated with morphological and functional alterations of left atrium (LA) and ventricle (LV), possibly inducing LA-LV misalignment. We aimed to: (1) characterize angulation between LA and mitral annulus from conventional cine MRI data and feature-tracking (FT) contours, (2) assess their associations with functional capacity in MR patients, as assessed by oxygen consumption (peak-VO) and minute ventilation to carbon dioxide production (VE/VCO) slope, in comparison with MRI LA/LV strain indices. Thirty-two asymptomatic primary MR patients (56 [40; 66] years, 12 women) underwent cardiac MRI resulting in LA/LV conventional FT-derived strain indices.

Background: Coupling between left ventricle (LV) and left atrium (LA) plays a central role in the process of cardiac remodeling during aging and development of cardiac disease. The hydraulic force (HyF) is related to variation in size between LV and LA. The objectives of this study were to: (1) derive an estimate of left atrioventricular HyF using cine- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in healthy subjects with a wide age range, and (2) study its relationship with age and conventional diastolic function parameters, as estimated by reference echocardiography.

The left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) is a crucial prognostic indicator. However, inconsistencies in measurements due to the speckle tracking algorithm and manual adjustments have hindered its standardization and democratization. To solve this issue, we proposed a fully automated strain measurement by artificial intelligence-assisted LV segmentation contours.

Background: There are different types of transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) currently in clinical use, including leaflet approximation, annular cinching, and restoration of the chordal apparatus of the mitral valve (MV). While the concomitant combination (COMBO) therapy of mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) with another TMVr concept has been proven feasible, potentially offering patient-tailored treatment for severe mitral regurgitation (MR), a comparison with M-TEER alone has not been made.
Aims: To evaluate the procedural and clinical outcome of COMBO therapies compared with M-TEER alone.

Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is a common valvular heart disease in the geriatric population across the United States. This patient cohort is multimorbid and often has a prohibitive risk for conventional open-heart surgery. The diverse anatomic pathology of FMR is a complex problem and unfortunately does not have a universal solution.
