The device has evolved from one aimed at just functional MR to a broader HF therapy. EMPOWER will provide more insights.

Echocardiography can accurately determine not only the presence of mitral regurgitation, but also the severity and usually the etiology, based on imaging of the mitral valve apparatus. For example ...

A transthoracic echocardiography was performed, no left atrial clot was found, the valve was not severely ... with LV dysfunction. Ischemic mitral regurgitation is a dynamic disease and exercise ...

Functional mitral valve regurgitation occurs when the left atrium or left ventricle dilates, causing the mitral valve annulus to also dilate and prevent the mitral valve leaflets from properly ...

With new transcatheter options for the repair or replacement of tricuspid valves, the role and timing of repair — whether surgical or minimally invasive — is entering a time of transition.
