Book Description
This book covers the entire spectrum of the floppy mitral valve/mitral valve prolapse/mitral valve regurgitation triad. Few cardiac disorders have generated as much controversy and discussion over the last two centuries as the floppy mitral valve (FMV)/ mitral valve proplapse (MVP)/ mitral valvular regurgitation (MVR) triad, and the mitral valve prolapse syndrome. During the past 50 years, recognition of its broad pathologic and clinical spectrum has led to the appreciation of the FMV as the central issue in the FMV/MVP/MVR story. Accordingly, the clinical phenomena and imaging characteristics inherent in the FMV/MVP/MVR triad will be best understood when reconciled with the gross morphologic, histopathologic, and molecular characteristics of the FMV complex. This book is written to cover the entire spectrum of FMV and its sequlae. The inheritance patterns, genetic studies, and development of family pedigrees; the relations of pathology and histology to FMV and clinical functional expression; and the broad range of clinical presentation, are all examined in depth. Complications (i.e. infective endocarditis, thromboembolic phenomena, arrhythmias, progressive MVR, chordae tendinae rupture, and left atrial and left ventricular dysfunction) are discussed in detail. Insights into the mechanisms of circulatory abnormalities and their impact on clinical phenomenon are also explored. Therapeutic approaches, including medical management and the indications and role of cardiac surgery, are highlighted. Finally, a clinically useful classification for FMV/MVP patients is proposed. This book will be of interest to all cardiologists, including clinical investigators, morphologists, physiologists, pathologists, surgeons, cardiac imagers, internists, family physicians, pediatricians, and nurse clinicians, and importantly, to discerning patients and individuals in search of information about the FMV/MVP/MVR triad.

Transcatheter Mitral Valve Therapies

Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
TRANSCATHETER MITRAL VALVE THERAPIES An essential survey of the advancing field of transcatheter mitral valve repair and replacement Minimally invasive transcatheter therapies have revolutionized the treatment of structural heart disease. Greatly improving outcomes for higher-risk patients, transcatheter aortic valve replacement is now established as a safe and effective alternative to invasive surgery. The mitral valve, however, poses further challenges. Contending with one of the heat’s most anatomically and pathologically complex components, practitioners and engineers have yet to perfect a stream-lined, widely deliverable therapy—though they are getting closer and closer to this goal. Transcatheter Mitral Valve Therapies provides a far-reaching survey of the field of mitral interventions in its current state. Highlighting the stumbling blocks preventing transcatheter mitral valve replacement’s widespread adoption, the book’s international group of contributors discuss the improvements to be made in repair and replacement procedures, as well as the adjunctive use of imaging and pharmacologic therapies. This ground-breaking text: Provides detailed explanations of transcatheter repair, transcatheter replacement, and adjunctive procedures Features chapters on the use of imaging to aid in patient selection, procedure planning, and intra-operative guidance Discusses the importance of minimally invasive approaches for mitral valve repair Examines anticoagulation following transcatheter mitral valve interventions Outlines the possible future of transcatheter mitral valve therapy Transcatheter Mitral Valve Therapies is an important, up-to-date resource for interventional cardiologists, as well as all clinical researchers and practitioners seeking information on this vital and developing treatment.
