OBJECTIVES - The aim of this study was to assess 1-year clinical outcomes among high-risk patients with failed surgical mitral bioprostheses who underwent transseptal mitral valve-in-valve (MViV) with the SAPIEN 3 aortic transcatheter heart valve (THV) in the MITRAL (Mitral Implantation of Transcatheter Valves) trial. BACKGROUND - The MITRAL trial is the first prospective study evaluati...

OBJECTIVES - The aim of this study was to assess mitral valve (MV) remodeling and strain in patients with secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) compared with primary MR (PMR) and normal valves. BACKGROUND - A paucity of data exists on MV strain during the cardiac cycle in humans. Real-time 3-dimensional (3D) echocardiography allows for dynamic MV imaging, enabling computerized m...

BACKGROUND - Sudden cardiac arrest is a serious complication of acute myocardial infarction (MI). Although in-hospital mortality from MI has decreased, the mortality of MI patients complicated with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains high. However, the features of acute MI patients with OHCA have not been well known. OBJECTIVES - We sought to characterize the clinical and angiographic ...
