Why the study?
What are the real-time 3D echocardiographic geometric predictors of significant mitral regurgitation in patients with severe ischemic cardiomyopathy?
What are the real-time 3D echocardiographic geometric predictors of significant mitral regurgitation in patients with severe ischemic cardiomyopathy?
Real-time 3D echocardiography identifies posterior leaflet tethering and mitral valve tenting area as key predictors of significant mitral regurgitation in ischemic cardiomyopathy, which may aid in surgical decision-making.
3D echo tethering metrics may refine MR risk assessment in ischemic cardiomyopathy; hypothesis-generating pending prospective validation.
