This is an analysis involving 134 heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction versus 80 controls investigated during functional evaluation with gas exchange and hemodynamic, addressing the severe mitral regurgitation phenotype and testing the hypothesis that the backward cardiac output redistribution to the lung during exercise impairs delivery and overexpresses peripheral extraction. This information is new and has important implications in the management of heart failure.

Patients With Heart Failure

Oncology patients with Heart Failure (HF) and severe Mitral Regurgitation (MR) are often considered to have a prohibitive risk for surgical mitral valve repair/replacement. We describe a patient with active multiple myeloma and significant HF and MR who was treated with MitraClip, which improved symptoms and allowed delivery of optimal oncological treatment.

Life Threatening

We report the case of a 71-year-old man hospitalized for acute heart failure. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography showed mitral valve aneurysm (MVA) rupture and severe mitral regurgitation. No vegetations but significant aortic regurgitation were also observed. MVA perforation is a rare life-threatening condition that typically occurs as a complication of endocarditis but may also be associated with other diseases, in particular connective tissue disorders. In the present case, the absence of such etiology suggests a possible role for of aortic regurgitation in MVA rupture secondary to a “jet lesion” mechanism.

Cor Triatriatum Sinister

Adult cor triatriatum sinister associated with severe mitral regurgitation is extremely rare. As these obstructive cor triatriatum feature hemodynamics that mimic mitral stenosis, a pressure load is theoretically generated only on the left atrial proximal chamber, and therefore the left ventricle is less likely to suffer volume loading. Here, we report a surgical case with such rare hemodynamics. A 22-year-old man with obstructive cor triatriatum and severe mitral regurgitation received an anomalous membrane excision and mitral annuloplasty. An abnormal membrane with an orifice 7 mm in size was completely resected while a grossly dilated mitral annulus was repaired via annuloplasty ring. Mitral regurgitation was controlled well, and the postoperative course was uneventful. Even with obstructive cor triatriatum, severe mitral annular dilatation and subsequent left ventricular dilatation may occur, causing the progressive heart failure encountered in this case.
