Echocardiography

The pulmonary valve (PV), although often less emphasized than other heart valves, is crucial for cardiac function and hemodynamics. Historically, the PV has been underrepresented in echocardiographic assessments due to its rare involvement in pathological conditions, particularly in adults. Additionally, the anatomical position of the PV makes it one of the most challenging valves to visualize using conventional echocardiography.

Background: The association between surgical treatment of mitral regurgitation (MR) and renal function is not sufficiently well-known. We tried to evaluate renal function before and after the procedure of surgical mitral valve repair (SMVR) in degenerative severe MR.
Methods: Patients with primary severe (4+) MR and normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) that underwent SMVR, examined by a cutting-edge 3-dimensional (3D) echocardiographic probe were enrolled in this study.

One of the primary factors contributing to death across all age groups is cardiovascular disease. In the analysis of heart function, analyzing the left ventricle (LV) from 2D echocardiographic images is a common medical procedure for heart patients. Consistent and accurate segmentation of the LV exerts significant impact on the understanding of the normal anatomy of the heart, as well as the ability to distinguish the aberrant or diseased structure of the heart.

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) severity after mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) has been shown to impact outcomes but unknown in patients requiring mitral valve (MV) surgery after TEER. We sought to determine the impact of preoperative TR severity and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction on MV surgery after TEER. From 7/2009 to 7/2020, 260/332 patients in the CUTTING-EDGE registry who underwent MV surgery after TEER had paired echocardiographic evaluation on TR severity, and ≥moderate (2+) vs <2+ TR at the time of index TEER were compared.
