Mitral regurgitation (MR) is one of the most common valvular heart diseases worldwide. Echocardiography remains the first line and most effective imaging modality for the diagnosis of mitral valve (MV) pathology and quantitative assessment of MR. The advent of three-dimensional echocardiography has significantly enhanced the evaluation of MV anatomy and function.

Background: Functional mitral regurgitation (MR) is a common form of mitral valve dysfunction that often persists even after surgical intervention, requiring reoperation in some cases. To advance our understanding of the pathogenesis of functional MR, it is crucial to characterize the cellular composition of the mitral valve leaflet and identify molecular changes in each cell subtype within the mitral valves of MR patients. Therefore, we aimed to comprehensively examine the cellular and molecular components of mitral valves in patients with MR.

Purpose: Bacteremia is a well-known complication to surgery and may result in infective endocarditis (IE). Transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) may give rise to bacteremia, but the associated risk of IE is not well described. We aimed to examine risk of infective endocarditis following TUR-P.
