Mitral regurgitation is the most common form of valvular incompetence. About 1 in 5 (20%) of people over 55 years, undergoing an Echocardiogram, have some extent of mitral valve regurgitation. Mitral ...

Investigators with the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) program to detect the presence and severity of mitral valve regurgitation, the most common ...

Pulmonic valve regurgitation occurs when blood leaks abnormally backward from the pulmonary artery through the pulmonic valve into the right ventricle. This can result in right heart failure. Pulmonic ...

WASHINGTON, DC—There’s fresh evidence that off-label use of TAVR devices for pure native aortic valve regurgitation (NAVR) is associated with “not optimal” outcomes, although newer-generation devices, ...

Mitral valve regurgitation is a common heart valve condition in which the mitral valve cannot close properly. Cardiologists may implant mitral valve clips to help the valve close effectively. Mitral ...

The optimal treatment strategy for fluctuating MR is uncertain, but can include a combination of surgery, cardiac resynchronization therapy, and new mitral valve approaches Mitral regurgitation (MR) ...

Patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with a valve designed to treat aortic regurgitation had an overall mortality rate of just 8.1% at one year, well below the trial's ...
