Abstract:Aims
Although right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction seems to be associated with adverse outcome after transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER) with the MitraClip system, the prognostic value of RV free wall longitudinal strain (RVFWLS) in this setting has not been yet investigated. The aim of this study is to evaluate RVFWLS as predictor of outcome in patients with severe or moderate-to-severe functional MR undergoing TEER and its prognostic role compared with tricuspid ann… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
