Management of moderate functional mitral regurgitation at the time of aortic valve replacement: Is concomitant mitral valve repair necessary?
2009, Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :This may in turn correlate with continued ventricular dysfunction and persistent hypertension.10 With regard to lower LVEF as a predictor of MR improvement, it is known that ventricular function improves after AVR even in the presence of preoperative ventricular dilatation.11-14 The dilated left ventricle with lower preoperative LVEF may therefore undergo the greatest favorable reverse remodeling, thereby reducing preoperative functional MR to the greatest degree.
Systematic review of the outcome of aortic valve replacement in patients with aortic stenosis
2004, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :As a summary effect, statistical analysis on weighted and pooled data showed no considerable change in EF at all three time periods chosen for comparison. Patients with low preoperative EF [4, 17, 30–32], in contrast, showed a robust and reproducible improvement in EF (EF%, 28 ± 4.3preop vs 40 ± 9.46–41 months follow-up; p < 0.05) (Fig 1). This low EF group of patients also had relatively lower preoperative mean gradient (weighted mean, mm Hg: 56 ± 18.2normal EF vs 38 ± 8low EF; p < 0.05).
