causing the mitral valve annulus to also dilate and prevent the mitral valve leaflets from properly coapting. There are many causes of left atrial and left ventricular dilation, and the treatment ...

Carillon consists of two anchors connected by a shaping ribbon that remodels the mitral annulus – the junctional region between the left atrium and left ventricle. The company claims that early ...

the line of coaptation in the mitral valve is destroyed. If the ventricle dilates, if you think about it, the annulus pulls apart and all of a sudden coaptation no longer can occur. Or ...

Researchers from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden showed that the valve abnormality called Mitral annular disjunction (MAD ...

People with a certain heart valve abnormality are at increased risk of severe heart rhythm disorders, even after successful valve surgery.

known as primary MR (or “organic” MR), or due to dilation of the mitral valve annulus associated with impaired left ventricular function, known as secondary MR (or “functional” MR).

People with a certain heart valve abnormality are at increased risk of severe heart rhythm disorders, even after successful ...

It is for use in the mitral or tricuspid position. Integral template provides a measured plication of the annulus for predictable, reproducible results. “C” shape of the flexible band allows ...

People with a certain heart valve defect known as Mitral Annular Disjunction (MAD) may face a significantly higher risk of ...

as well as reduced early diastolic mitral annular velocity using tissue Doppler imaging. In late stages with LV failure associated with elevations in left atrial pressure, a so-called restrictive ...
