Blown Wide Open: An Unusual Case of Torrential Mitral Regurgitation Resolving With a Cough.

ABSTRACT: Mitral regurgitation can have varying hemodynamic parameters dependent on factors such as pressure gradients, exercise, and/or provocative maneuvers. We present a case of unusual dynamic mitral regurgitation resolved by coughing in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Torrential mitral regurgitation following right ventricular apical pacing in rheumatic mitral valve disease: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundMitral regurgitation may develop or worsen following right ventricular apical pacing due to dyssynchronous left ventricular contraction. Pre-existing secondary mitral annular dilation is a well-recognized and important contributing factor. This description of pacing-induced torrential mitral regurgitation in the setting of rheumatic mitral valve disease is a rare case in which a primary mitral valve lesion was the antecedent mechanism.Case summaryA 60-year-old man was admitted with dizziness and pre-syncope. Twelve-lead electrocardiogram showed complete heart block. A dual-chamber pacemaker was implanted and programmed in DDD mode. Transthoracic echocardiography performed a day later demonstrated a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 63% and moderate mitral regurgitation. The patient presented 4 months later with breathlessness and orthopnoea. Pacemaker interrogation demonstrated a 98% right ventricular pacing burden. Echocardiography revealed torrential mitral regurgitation secondary to left ventricular dyssynchrony and complete loss of leaflet coaptation with preserved systolic function. Post-capillary pulmonary hypertension was diagnosed following right heart catheterization. The patient underwent metallic mitral valve replacement, tricuspid annuloplasty, and left internal mammary artery grafting to the left anterior descending artery for a severe proximal stenosis. On inspection, the native mitral valve was notably rheumatic in appearance, and this was confirmed histologically.DiscussionIt is important to closely monitor the progression of mitral regurgitation in those with primary mitral valve disease undergoing right ventricular pacing. Early follow-up may prevent the adverse haemodynamic consequences of worsening mitral regurgitation, with a greater chance of recovery of left ventricular function following surgery.

Torrential Mitral Regurgitation After Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Mitral Valve Repair.

Project description:A patient with severe mitral regurgitation and chronic systolic heart failure taking inotropic support at home presents for transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair, complicated by torrential mitral regurgitation from damaged mitral leaflets requiring escalating mechanical circulatory support and ultimately expedited orthotopic heart transplantation. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Eclipsed mitral regurgitation: an unusual cause of acute heart failure.

Project description:AimsSo far, a total of five patients with eclipsed mitral regurgitation (MR) have been reported in the literature by three different teams. The aim of this article was to detail clinical and echocardiographic characteristics, and outcome of patients presenting eclipsed MR.Methods and resultsWe defined eclipsed MR as spontaneous appearance, at rest, from 1 min to the next of an acute restriction in the motion of mitral leaflets preventing coaptation and leading to massive MR in patients with normal left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, left ventricular ejection fraction >45%, and baseline MR ≤2. Spontaneous regression occurred within 30 min, and no obvious trigger such as acute hypertension, new-onset arrhythmia, or myocardial ischaemia is present. Clinical data, ECG, echocardiographic data, surgery report, and follow-up status of six patients with eclipsed MR are reported: all were post-menopausal women with median age of 74 [57-80] years presenting hypertension (4/6), chronic kidney disease (5/6), or chronic anaemia (4/6). Five out of six patients experienced acute pulmonary oedema requiring hospitalization and underwent mitral valve replacement because of heart failure recurrence. Two patients died in the first days after surgery while the three others are free of symptoms at, respectively, 56, 18, and 10 months follow-up.ConclusionEclipsed MR is a clinical and echocardiographic syndrome responsible for heart failure with preserved EF. It is presently underdiagnosed and should be evoked in cases of recurrent acute pulmonary oedema without obvious trigger, in particular in patients presenting discordant evaluation of MR severity over time.

When Is Mitral Regurgitation Not Just Systolic?: A Case of Near-Continuous Mitral Regurgitation.

Project description:A 30-year-old man presented with symptomatic severe chronic aortic regurgitation, first-degree atrioventricular block, and near-continuous mitral regurgitation. Surgical intervention, including aortic root replacement and mitral valve repair, was successful, highlighting the close relationship between valvular diseases and emphasizing the importance of comprehensive assessment for optimal management.

A "Grave" Case of Mitral Regurgitation: Cardio-Obstetric Approach to Severe Mitral Regurgitation With Cardiogenic Shock.

Project description:A 26-year-old woman presented at 26 weeks of pregnancy with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and cardiogenic shock in the setting of profound hyperthyroidism. An intra-aortic balloon pump was placed, and surgical intervention was considered. However, with management of thyrotoxicosis and delivery, complete resolution of MR and cardiogenic shock was achieved. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
