Research: Mitral Heart Valve
![Page 7: Mechanical Engineering - UCD](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051520/627f612650b20459525703c2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Ischaemic Mitral Regurgitation
• Retrograde flow of blood through MV
• IMR arises as a consequence of
reduced blood flow to myocardium
• 7.9 Million Americans suffer
Myocardial Infarction
• 19% of these suffer IMR

Treatment Strategies
• A comprehensive evaluation of the efficacy of MV treatment has been
hindered by the lack of randomized clinical trials
• Retrospective studies have shown valve repair to be optimal treatment
with lower perioperative mortality and long-term morbidity, increased
survival and preservation of LV function
• Novel Treatment Strategies – Percutaneous delivery of repair element
