Mitral valve surgery in advanced heart failure

Journal of the American College of Cardiology

Abstract

The appropriateness and timing of mitral valve surgery in patients with advanced heart failure and severe mitral regurgitation remains controversial. Recent surgical results provide evidence for beneficial effects on left ventricular remodeling and functional capacity. Given the absence of randomized trials comparing the outcomes of mitral valve surgery to medical therapy, however, clinical decision making regarding surgery for these fragile patients poses a dilemma to thoughtful clinicians. This paper reviews the pathophysiology of mitral regurgitation in heart failure and proposes an integrated approach to management.

Cachexia is a condition associated with progressive weight loss due to severe illness. In cancer patients, it is proposed to occur as a result of tumor-induced energy wasting. Several proteins have been implicated in browning and depletion of white adipose tissue. Here is the latest research on cachexia and brown fat.
