Implication
In-silico trial reveals left-heart myopathy alters mitral valve stenosis assessment and impacts intervention outcomes.
Key Points
- Mitral valve intervention reduces mean gradient, but left atrial pressure may not normalize in patients with dysfunction.
- Variation of 1mmHg in mean gradient attributed to left-heart myopathy was observed during exercise.
- Observational assessment using the CircAdapt biophysical model created virtual cohorts for mitral valve evaluation.
- Persistent myocardial dysfunction limits improvement in exercise capacity following intervention, highlighting treatment challenges.
