The families of 12 probands with classic mitral valve prolapse were studied for evidence of mitral valve prolapse. Seventy parents, sibs, and progeny were included in the analysis. Forty-seven percent (16 of 34) of progeny were affected compared with 30 percent (3 of 10) of parents. Thirty-eight percent (10 of 26) of sibs were affected. A three-compartmental penetrance model was devised to account for the variation in expression with age. This includes a latent stage (time before onset of signs), an affected stage, and a stage in which the subjects are withdrawn (because of treatment, regression, or death). The implications of this model are discussed.

Valvular Heart Disease Care in Pakistan: Impact of the Multidisciplinary Valve Heart Team.
JACC Adv
December 2024
Department of Interventional Cardiology& structural heart interventions, NICVD, Karachi, Pakistan.
Background: Patients with complex valvular heart disease (VHD) should be evaluated by a multidisciplinary heart team (HT). In low- and middle-income countries, referral practices are more variable, permitting any physician to refer patients directly to a cardiac surgeon without prior formal evaluation by a cardiologist with expertise in VHD.
Objectives: The goal of the study was to examine the demographics of VHD patients seen in a large heart valve center in a low- and middle-income country and to assess the impact of the multidisciplinary HT in patients referred for valve surgery.
Population-Based Analysis of Late Outcomes of Mitral Valve Repair for Degenerative Mitral Valve Regurgitation.
JACC Adv
December 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Mayo Clinic Rochester, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.
Background: Population-based analyses may reduce uncertainty related to referral bias and/or incomplete follow-up.
Objectives: This study analyzed long-term mortality and durability of mitral valve repair in a geographically defined population with clinical and echocardiographic follow-up.
Methods: We used the Rochester Epidemiology Project to identify 153 Olmsted County patients who underwent mitral valve repair for degenerative regurgitation from 1993 to 2018.

One of the major issues encountered in patients undergoing evaluation for Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) is the risk of Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. LVOT obstruction is a catastrophic complication of TMVR, the result of displacement of the anterior mitral valve leaflet (AML) toward the interventricular septum. Several strategies to mitigate the risk of LVOT obstruction have been described and include percutaneous laceration of the anterior mitral leaflet (LAMPOON), alcohol septal ablation, trans-atrial leaflet modification (SITRAL) and Balloon Assisted Translocation of Mitral Anterior leaflet to prevent LVOT obstruction (BATMAN).
