Right Ventricular Dysfunction
Conditions
Brief summary
We aim to determine the function of Right ventricle post mitral valve surgeries in patients with pulmonary hypertension using transthoracic echocardiography3- and 6-months post-operatively to detect the effect of mitral valve surgeries over the RV function whether improving, deteriorating, or not changing at all.

Inclusion criteria
* Patients who underwent mitral valve surgeries who also had pulmonary hypertension in the period between March 2019 and March 2022 in Assiut university heart hospital
Exclusion criteria
* Patients who underwent mitral valve surgeries with normal pulmonary pressure. Patients who had other valve surgeries besides mitral as aortic and/or tricuspid valve surgeries. Patients had mitral valve surgeries with other heart conditions that needed another intervention in the same session as CABG for IHD.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Right Ventricular function post mitral valve surgeries in patients with pulmonary hypertension | From March 2019 till March 2022 | to detect right ventricular function (ejection fraction percentage and/or TAPSE) through transthoracic echocardiography 3- and 6-months post operatively in patients who had mitral valve surgeries with pulmonary hypertension. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Best mitral valve surgical modalities in patients with pulmonary hypertension | From March 2019 till March 2022 | to identify best surgical modalities for mitral valve diseased patients with pulmonary hypertension that lead to improvement of right ventricle function. |
