Abstract

This study was designed to assess structural and dynamic changes in the mitral annulus in patients before mitral valve reconstruction for degenerative mitral regurgitation with or without chronic atrial fibrillation. One hundred and fifty one consecutive patients undergoing mitral valve reconstruction for mitral regurgitation due to myxomatous disease between July 2013 and May 2016 were included. Of these, 117 had a sinus rhythm (SR group) and 34 had chronic AF (AF group). Patients who underwent aortic surgery and were found to have no underlying cardiac valve disease nor coronary artery disease were included as the control group (n = 20). Real-time three-dimensional trans-esophageal echocardiography (3D-TEE) was used to assess mitral annulus shape, size, and movements. Annular areas in the control group were the smallest of the three groups and changed considerably through the cardiac cycle. Mean anteroposterior and intercommissural diameter measurements in the SR group were significantly larger but oscillated less than in the control group. Those diameters were the largest in the AF group and oscillated very little. Dilatation of the annulus in the AF and SR groups was accompanied by flattening and marked loss of oscillation ...Continue Reading

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
