Cardiac pacing and defibrillation studies

The status of intrinsic left ventricular (LV) contractility in patients with isolated rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) has been debated. The acute changes in loading conditions after percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty (PMV) may affect LV performance. We aimed to examine the acute effects of PMV on LV function and identify factors associated with LV ejection fraction (LVEF) changes, and determinants of long-term events following the procedure.One hundred and forty-two patients who underwent PMV for symptomatic rheumatic MS (valve area of 0.99±0.3cm2) were prospectively enrolled. LV volumes and LVEF were measured by three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography. Long-term outcome was a composite endpoint of death, mitral valve (MV) replacement, repeat PMV, new onset of atrial fibrillation, and stroke.The mean age was 42.3±12.1years, and 125 patients were women (88%). After PMV, LVEF increased significantly (51.4 vs 56.5%, p<0.001), primary due to a significant increase in LV end-diastolic volume (65.8mL vs 67.9mL, p=0.002), and resultant increase in the stroke volume (33.9mL vs 39.6mL, p<0.001). Changes in cardiac index and systolic pulmonary artery pressure were associated with LVEF changes after PMV. During a mean follow-up period of 30.8months, 28 adverse clinical events were observed. Postprocedural mitral regurgitation, MV area, and mean gradient were independent predictors of composite endpoints.In patients with rheumatic MS, PMV resulted in a significant improvement in LV end-diastolic volume, stroke volume and consequently increased in LVEF. Changes in cardiac index and systolic pulmonary artery pressure were associated with LVEF changes after PMV. The predictors of long-term adverse events following PMV were post-procedural variables, including mitral regurgitation, valve area, and mean gradient.
