Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - Age >=18 years; - Male or female from all ethnicities; - At least 6 months post successful, isolated MV repair. Successful MV repair: when there is no or grade 1+ residual or recurrent MV regurgitation, MG 1.5 cm2 after MV surgery and during follow-up. Isolated MV surgery may include a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG); - No symptoms (asymptomatic). Symptoms are defined as subjective limitations of exercise capacity or complaints expressed by the patient and confirmed by the treating cardiologist;
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Pulmonary hypertension >50 mmHg at rest; - Atrial fibrillation (AF) at time of study related stress echo testing; - Known contraindication or incapability to perform peak exercise or inability to perform physical stress testing; - LVEF
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To determine normal values in stress echocardiographic parameters in asymptomatic patients at least 6 months after successful MV repair, including but not limited to the following 2D stress echo parameters: mean gradient (MG) and peak gradient over the repaired MV, systolic pulmonary artery values (sPAP), left ventricular end diastolic dimensions (LVEDD), left ventricular end systolic dimensions (LVEDS), left atrium (LA) dimensions, ejection fraction (EF), mitral valve area (MVA) and severity of MV regurgitation (grade 1-4). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary objective is to compare 2D echocardiographic parameters during physical exercise to 3D stress echo parameters (including but not limited to the following 2D and 3D stress echo parameters: mean gradient (MG) and peak gradient over the repaired MV, systolic pulmonary artery values (sPAP), left ventricular end diastolic dimensions (LVEDD), left ventricular end systolic dimensions (LVEDS), left atrium (LA) dimensions, ejection fraction (EF), mitral valve area (MVA) and severity of MV regurgitation (grade 1-4)). | — |
