Research: Mitral Heart Valve

Ischaemic Mitral Regurgitation

•  Retrograde flow of blood through MV

•  IMR arises as a consequence of reduced blood flow to myocardium

•  7.9 Million Americans suffer Myocardial Infarction

•  19% of these suffer IMR

Treatment Strategies

•  A comprehensive evaluation of the efficacy of MV treatment has been hindered by the lack of randomized clinical trials

•  Retrospective studies have shown valve repair to be optimal treatment with lower perioperative mortality and long-term morbidity, increased survival and preservation of LV function

•  Novel Treatment Strategies – Percutaneous delivery of repair element
