RESUMO

AIMS: Although systolic expansion of the annulus has been recognized in Barlow's disease, the mechanisms of the unique pathological movement of the annulus and its relation to the leaflet augmentation have not yet been clarified. We aimed to investigate the detailed mechanisms of the characteristic mitral apparatus dynamics in Barlow's disease by frame-by-frame sequential geometric analysis using real-time 3D transoesophageal echocardiography. METHODS AND RESULTS: Fifty-three patients with Barlow's disease and severe mitral regurgitation without torn chordae, as well as 10 controls, were included. We evaluated geometric changes in the mitral complex using 3D transoesophageal echocardiography at five points during systole. To identify early systolic billowing of leaflets, the annulo-leaflet angle was measured. We also performed a more detailed analysis in four consecutive frames just before and after leaflet free-edge prolapse above the annulus plane. The median annulo-leaflet angle of both leaflets in early systole was >0° (above annulus plane) in patients with Barlow's disease, and billowing of the leaflet body was observed from early systole. The prolapse volume of both leaflets increased markedly from early to mid-systole [1.60 (0.85-2.80) to 4.00 (2.10-6.45) mL; analysis of variance (ANOVA), P < 0.001; post hoc, P < 0.05]. With frame-by-frame analysis, dynamic augmentation of the annulus and leaflets developed between frames just before and just after leaflet free-edge prolapse (ANOVA, P < 0.01; post hoc, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: In Barlow's disease, early systolic billowing of the mitral leaflet induces systolic annulus expansion followed by leaflet augmentation and leaflet free-edge prolapse.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Appropriate evaluation of hemodynamic status is vital in the management of acute heart failure (AHF). We aimed to investigate the changes in echocardiographic parameters during very acute phases of AHF and their association with clinical outcomes. METHODS: Patients who were admitted to four Japanese hospitals with AHF were prospectively enrolled. Comprehensive echocardiography and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) were assessed both on admission and the second day. RESULTS: A total of 271 patients (80 ±â€¯12 years old, 52 % male) was included. Overall, transmitral E velocity, E/A, tricuspid regurgitation pressure gradient (TRPG), and inferior vena cava diameter significantly decreased, and stroke volume and left ventricular ejection fraction showed a significant increase by the second day, whereas E/e' did not change. On the second day, BNP increased in 50 patients (18 %). Despite similar baseline characteristics, patients with increased BNP showed a significantly smaller improvement in transmitral flow parameters (E and A velocity, E/A, and flow patterns) and a smaller decrease in TRPG compared with patients with decreased BNP. Other echocardiographic parameter changes were not different between the groups. A combination of improvement in transmitral flow and TRPG was significantly associated with 90-day and 1-year composite events of all-cause death and heart failure hospitalization after adjustment by the Get With the Guidelines-Heart Failure risk score. CONCLUSIONS: Echocardiographic parameters show a dynamic change in the very acute phase of AHF. Several parameters, such as the transmitral flow and TRPG might be useful in monitoring favorable hemodynamic change.

RESUMO

The recommendations for the treatment of heart failure patients with severe multivalvular disease are not clear. We present a successful case of an older patient with heart failure and severe multivalvular disease in whom rehospitalization was prevented by a combination of MitraClip implantation (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA) and continued multidisciplinary cardiac rehabilitation. An 85-year-old male patient presented with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III severe mitral regurgitation (MR), severe aortic valve regurgitation (AR), and severe tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR). As first choice of treatment, surgical double valve replacement and tricuspid annuloplasty were considered. However, considering his age, pre-frailty condition, risks of surgery, and the desire of the patient, the heart team percutaneously implanted the MitraClip system. After implantation of one MitraClip (placed centrally on the A2/P2 scallops), the severity of the patient's MR decreased to mild from moderate-severe. He was followed up with multidisciplinary inpatient care and outpatient cardiac rehabilitation. At 1 year follow-up, he remained in stable condition at NYHA class I, and echocardiography at this time revealed moderate MR and TR and severe AR, and he has not required hospital readmission. Learning objective: This case report showed that a combination of MitraClip implantation (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA) and continued multidisciplinary cardiac rehabilitation may be effective in preventing readmission in older patients with heart failure and severe multivalvular disease.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIM: After repair of degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR), the focus is on functional mitral stenosis (FMS) when there is a decline of mitral hemodynamics. Yet, the clinical impacts and a standardized definition are still undecided. Since common mitral hemodynamic parameters are influenced by transmitral flow, the aim of this study is to seek the impact of flow adjusted transmitral pressure gradient (TMPG) by left ventricular stroke volume (LVSV) on the midterm outcomes. METHODS: Three hundred one patients who had undergone isolated mitral valve repair for degenerative lesions with annuloplasty prosthesis between October 2012 and June 2019 were included. Postoperative adverse events occurred in 20 patients (6.6%). Flow adjusted TMPG was defined as TMPG/LVSV. RESULTS: Common mitral hemodynamic parameters were not associated with adverse events. By multivariable analysis, patients' age, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and mean TMPG/LVSV were isolated as independent predictors (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.05, 0.95, and 1.16; p = .037, .005, and .035). Flow adjusted TMPG was significantly higher in the full ring group compared to the partial band group (0.051 mmHg/ml, [0.038-0.068] vs. 0.041 mmHg/ml, [0.031-0.056]; p < .001) and had a significantly negative correlation with the size of the annuloplasty prosthesis (r = -0.37, p < .001). CONCLUSIONS: Conventional mitral hemodynamic parameters were not associated with adverse cardiac events after repair for DMR. Adjustment by flow has a potential to advance pressure gradient to a more sensitive indicator of FMS associated with clinical outcomes.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Options for shaping the delivery sheath of leadless pacemakers (LPs) based on the cardiac anatomy of patients are limited. We predicted the shape of the LP sheath during implantation using preoperative computed tomography (CT) and intraoperative fluoroscopy. METHODS: Forty-eight patients with implanted LPs due to symptomatic bradyarrhythmia were divided into two groups, α-loop and non-α-loop, based on the shape of the LP delivery sheath head at implantation. Angles between the inferior vena cava (IVC) and the interventricular septum (IVST), and the IVC and right ventricular apex (RVA) were measured by CT. The relationship between the final sheath shape and position of the IVC and the right or left side of the line drawn vertically from the deflection point of the sheath in the LAO view on fluoroscopy was assessed. RESULTS: Angles between the IVC and IVST (44.4 ± 5.9° vs. 50.2 ± 6.8°) and IVC and RVA (52.5 ± 5.3° vs. 58.8 ± 7.8°) on CT were significantly (p < 0.01) smaller in the α-loop group. To predict the α-loop shape, a combined IVC-IVST angle < 50° and IVC-RVA angle < 55° revealed higher sensitivity (81.8%). The delivery sheath positioned right of the vertical line was more frequent in the α-loop group (90.9% vs. 23.1%, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: When the preoperatively calculated angles of IVC to IVST and RVA on CT were narrow, the right side of the sheath in the IVC from the vertical line drawn from the deflection point in the LAO view indicated the need to shape the delivery sheath head into an α-loop during LP implantation.

RESUMO

Downsizing of mitral annulus due to mitral annuloplasty for ischemic functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) raises a new issue, functional mitral stenosis (FMS), defined as a decline of mitral hemodynamics. However, common mitral hemodynamic parameters are influenced by transmitral flow, therefore, the clinical impacts are still controversial. The aim of this study is to seek mitral hemodynamic indices (including transmitlra pressure gradient [TMPG] adjusted by left ventricular stroke volume [LVSV]) relevant to the mid-term outcomes after annuloplasty for ischemic functional mitral regurgitation (FMR). This study is a retrospective evaluation of mitral valve hemodynamic status by resting echocardiogram at several weeks after surgery. Eighty-one patients underwent mitral annuloplasty for ischemic FMR between September 2012 and June 2019. Postoperative adverse events occurred in 28 patients (34.6%), and the overall 5-year freedom from adverse events rate was 55.9%. Common mitral hemodynamic parameters were not associated with adverse events, but flow adjusted TMPG can be a correlative factor. By multivariable analysis, postoperative systolic pulmonary artery pressure and peak TMPG/LVSV were detected as independent predictors (adjusted hazard ratio 1.07 and 1.08, P < 0.001 and < 0.001). Additionally, risk stratification by peak TMPG (cut-off: 10 mm Hg) and LVSV (cut-off: 35 mL/m2) reflected the mid-term outcomes, perceptively (P = 0.007). Conventional mitral hemodynamic parameters were not associated with adverse cardiac events after annuloplasty for ischemic FMR. However, flow adjusted TMPG was identfied as an independent predictor, and risk stratification by peak TMPG and LVSV reflected the mid-term outcomes, perceptively.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: A myocardial bridge (MB) is a congenital coronary anomaly, wherein the epicardial coronary artery tunnels through the myocardial band. Treatment is indicated when clinical symptoms occur, and ß-blockers are the first choice of treatment. Symptomatic patients refractory to medical therapy are considered for other options, including stent placement, coronary artery bypass grafting, or surgical supra-arterial myotomy. Supra-arterial myotomy is effective; however, the symptoms might persist if myocardial resection is inadequately performed. CASE SUMMARY: We encountered a patient experiencing exertional chest pain. Coronary angiography revealed a MB at the mid-left anterior descending artery with systolic compression. The patient's fractional flow reserves (FFRs) were 0.93 at rest and 0.72 with intravenous administration of 50 µg/kg/min dobutamine. The symptoms were refractory to drugs, and supra-arterial myotomy was performed with intraoperative coronary artery angiography, which revealed the milking effect of the residual myocardium; therefore, additional myocardial resection was performed. Postoperative coronary artery angiography showed no systolic compression, and the postoperative FFRs were 0.88 at rest and 0.92 with intravenous administration of dobutamine 50 µg/kg/min. DISCUSSION: Although surgical supra-arterial myotomy is safe and effective, inadequate myocardial resection might cause symptom recurrence. Intraoperative coronary artery angiography during the surgery can indicate whether additional resection is required. Objective assessment of ischaemia might be useful in cases with a MB, which can cause asymptomatic myocardial ischaemia and sudden cardiac death. FFRs before surgery can help in evaluating the need for surgery and for confirming the therapeutic effect and subsequent treatment.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) demonstrates dynamic change during exercise. This prospective observational study aimed to compare exercise stress echocardiography (ESE) where handgrip exercise (handgrip-ESE) or semisupine ergometer exercise was performed (ergometer-ESE) for patients with secondary MR. METHODS: Handgrip-ESE and symptom-limited ergometer-ESE were performed for 53 patients (median age (IQR): 68 (58-78) years; 70% male) on the same day. Baseline global longitudinal strain (GLS) was 9.2% (6.0%-14.0%) and MR volume was 20 (14-26) mL. All-cause death and cardiac hospitalisation were tracked for median 439 (101-507) days. RESULTS: Handgrip-ESE induced slightly but significantly greater degrees of MR increase (median one grade increase; p<0.001) than ergometer-ESE, although the changes in other parameters, including GLS (+1.1% vs -0.6%, p<0.001), were significantly smaller. Correlations between the two examinations with respect to the changes in the echocardiographic parameters were weak. Kaplan-Meier analyses revealed poor improvement in GLS during ergometer-ESE, but not the change in MR, was associated with adverse events (p=0.0065). No echocardiographic change observed during handgrip-ESE was prognostic. After adjusting for a clinical risk score, GLS changes during ergometer-ESE remained significant in predicting the adverse events (HR 0.39, p=0.03) A subgroup analysis in patients with moderate or greater MR at baseline (n=27) showed the same results as in the entire cohort. CONCLUSIONS: The physiological and prognostic implications of handgrip-ESE and ergometer-ESE findings significantly differ in patients with left ventricular dysfunction and secondary MR. The type of exercise to be performed in ESE should be carefully selected.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Leaflet resection and chordal reconstruction are established repair techniques for posterior mitral valve (MV) prolapse. This study aimed to compare the clinical results of the resect and respect approaches, with a particular focus on MV hemodynamics. METHODS: Overall, 291 patients who underwent elective MV repair for isolated posterior leaflet prolapse between 2012 and 2020 were enrolled. Patients who underwent leaflet resection alone were classified as the "resection" group (n = 166), while patients who underwent neochordal replacement with/without limited leaflet resection were classified as the "respect" group (n = 125). Early postoperative MV hemodynamics and midterm repair durability were compared between the groups. RESULTS: The annuloplasty ring size was significantly larger in the respect group than in the resection group (31.0 ± 2.1 vs. 30.4 ± 2.0 mm, p = .028). The respect group showed significantly lower mean MV gradient (2.6 ± 1.1 vs. 3.0 ± 1.4 mmHg, p = .03) and larger effective orifice area (EOA) (1.86 ± 0.48 vs. 1.66 ± 0.47 cm2 , p < .001) than the resection group. Multivariable analysis identified the respect approach, younger age, female sex, larger ring size, and partial band as independent determinants of larger EOA. The rate of freedom from moderate or greater recurrent mitral regurgitation 5 years postoperatively was 90.9% in both groups. CONCLUSIONS: The respect approach allowed for a lower MV gradient and a larger EOA than the resection approach, which is possibly due to the capability of implanting a larger annuloplasty ring.

RESUMO

The mechanism of systolic annular expansion in mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is not clarified. Since annular expansion is systolic outward shift of MV leaflet/chorda tissue complex at superior and outer ends, annular expansion could be related to inward (superior) shift of the complex at another inferior and inner end of the papillary muscle (PM) tip and/or systolic lengthening of the tissue complex, especially MV leaflets.MV annulus systolic expansion, PMs' systolic superior shift, and MV leaflets' systolic lengthening were evaluated by echocardiography with a speckle tracking analysis in 25 normal subjects, 25 subjects with holo-systolic MVP and 20 subjects with late-systolic MVP.PMs' superior shift, MV leaflets' lengthening, MV annular area at the onset of systole and subsequent MV annulus expansion were significantly greater in late-systolic MVP than in holo-systolic MVP (4.6 ± 1.6 versus 1.5 ± 0.7 mm/m2, 2.5 ± 1.4 versus 0.6 ± 2.0 mm/m2, 6.8 ± 2.5 versus 5.7 ± 1.0 cm2/m2 and 1.6 ± 0.8 versus 0.1 ± 0.5 cm2/m2, P < 0.001, respectively). Multivariate analysis identified MV leaflets' lengthening and PMs' superior shift as independent factors associated with MV annular expansion.Conclusions: These results suggest that systolic MV annular expansion in MVP is related to abnormal MV leaflets' lengthening and PMs' superior shift.

RESUMO

Since mitral valve (MV) complex (MVC) longitudinally bridges left ventricular (LV) base end and its middle, insufficient MVC longitudinal tissue length (TL) elongation relative to whole LV myocardial longitudinal TL elongation could limit LV-base-longitudinal-TL elongation, leading to predominant LV-base-transverse-TL elongation, constituting LV spherical remodeling. In 30 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), 30 with aortic regurgitation (AR), and 30 controls, LV sphericity, LV-apex- or base-transverse- and longitudinal-TL, MVC-longitudinal-TL, and whole-LV-longitudinal-TL were measured by three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography. Ratio of each measure versus mean normal value (i.e., LV-apex-transverse-TL ratio) was considered to express the directional and regional tissue elongation. [LV-base-longitudinal-TL ratio/global-LV-TL ratio] and [MVC-longitudinal-TL ratio/whole-LV-longitudinal-TL ratio] were obtained as the degree of LV-base-longitudinal-TL or MVC-longitudinal-TL elongation relative to the whole LV elongation. LV-apex-transverse-, LV-apex-longitudinal-, and LV-base-transverse-TL ratios were significantly increased (1.27 to 1.42, P < 0.01) in both DCM and AR, while the LV-base-longitudinal-TL ratio was not increased in DCM [1.04 ± 0.19, not significant (ns)] and only modestly increased in AR (1.12 ± 0.21, P < 0.01). Whole-LV-longitudinal-TL ratio was significantly increased in both DCM and AR (1.22 ± 0.18 and 1.20 ± 0.16, P < 0.01), while MVC-longitudinal-TL ratio was not or only modestly increased in both groups (1.07 ± 0.15, ns, and 1.12 ± 0.17, P = 0.02, respectively). Multivariable analysis revealed that LV sphericity was independently related to a reduced [LV-base-longitudinal-TL ratio/global-LV-TL ratio] (standard ß = -0.42, P < 0.01), which was further related to a reduced [MVC-longitudinal-TL ratio/whole-LV-longitudinal-TL ratio] (standard ß = 0.72, P < 0.01). These are consistent with the hypothesis that relatively less MVC-longitudinal-TL elongation in the process of primary LV myocardial tissue elongation may limit LV-base-longitudinal-TL elongation, contributing to LV spherical remodeling.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Left ventricular (LV) spherical remodeling is associated with poor prognosis and less-effective cardiac performance, which commonly develops in dilated cardiomyopathy. However, its mechanism remains unclear. We hypothesized and subsequently clarified that less mitral valve complex (MVC) tissue longitudinal elongation relative to whole LV myocardial tissue longitudinal elongation is related to disproportionately less LV base longitudinal versus transverse myocardial tissue elongation, constituting spherical remodeling. This study suggests modification of MVC tissue elongation could be potential therapeutic targets.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to evaluate mitral valve hemodynamics after mitral valve repair for degenerative disease, and seek the impact of type/size of annuloplasty prosthesis on resting cardiac hemodynamics. METHODS: Between October 2012 and June 2019, 301 patients underwent isolated mitral valve repair for degenerative disease were enrolled. Correlation between postoperative mitral hemodynamics and type/size of annuloplasty prosthesis was evaluated. RESULTS: There were significant correlations between annuloplasty size and peak velocity (r = -0.41, p < 0.001), peak transmitral pressure gradient (TMPG) (r = -0.40, p < 0.001), mean TMPG (r = -0.41, p < 0.001), effective orifice area (EOA) (r = 0.26, p < 0.001), and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (r = -0.15, p = 0.010). In patients with larger annuloplasty prostheses (≥30 mm), the type of annuloplasty prosthesis (band or ring) did not influence the mitral hemodynamics, however, mean TMPG was significantly greater in patients with a full ring (2.9 mmHg [2.1-3.7] vs. 4.0 mmHg [2.8-5.0], p < 0.001) in patients with smaller annuloplasty (<30 mm). Left ventricular ejection fraction and stroke volume were significantly associated with an increase of TMPG (r = 0.14, p = 0.016 and r = 0.24, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: A larger partial band had the potential to improve mitral hemodynamics after mitral repair for degenerative disease. However, echocardiographic mitral hemodynamics was influenced by LV function. Therefore, a more accurate method is required to elucidate the true impact of mitral repair on hemodynamics.
