  2. 1. Mitral Valve Surgery: Effects on Cardiac Reverse Remodeling, Hemodynamics, and Clinical Outcome

    Author : Snejana Hyllen; Thoraxkirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiac function; mitral regurgitation; myocardial remodeling; mitral valve repair;

    Abstract : Normalization of life expectancy after mitral valve surgery is highly dependent on early diagnosis and referral for surgical treatment. Among cases treated surgically, the majority (60–70%) have a degenerative etiology, which is also easiest to repair. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cardiovascular modelling and ultrasound heart flow quantification : aortic flow and mitral regurgitation

    Author : Lars E. J. Eidenvall; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The primary objective of this thesis was to model and simulate aortic flow and mitral regurgitation and to improve quantitative ultrasound measurements. The tools used were; theoretical analysis, computer simulation, model experiments, image analysis and clinical evaluation. READ MORE

  6. 4. Impact of Surgical Techniques Used for Mitral Valve Repair on Hemodynamic Performance

    Author : Sigurdur Ragnarsson; Thoraxkirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mitral valve repair; artificial chordae; outcome; right ventricular function; infective endocarditis; mitral valve repair; artificial chordae; right ventricular function; outcome; infective endocarditis;

    Abstract : AbstractBackground Mitral regurgitation (MR) has many etiologies; the most common is degenerative disease. If not corrected, severe MR may cause left and right ventricular heart failure. Mitral valve (MV) repair is the gold standard for treatment of MR. READ MORE

  7. 5. Mitral annulus motion in left ventricular pumping

    Author : Kent Emilsson; Peter Carlens; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Cardiology; Kardiologi;

    Abstract : This thesis focus on the role of the mitral annulus motion (MAM) versus outer contour changes in the short axis, in left ventricular (LV) pumping. The influence of atrial contraction on LV dimensions and volumes and the relation between MAM and ejection fraction (EF) in sinus rhythm and in atrial fibrillation was also studied. READ MORE
