Effect of Afterload Reduction on Mitral Regurgitation Pressure-Volume Loops
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a common valvular heart condition that affects the heart’s ability to pump blood efficiently. In patients with MR, the mitral valve does not close completely, causing blood to flow backward into the left atrium during systole. This backward flow affects the heart’s pressure-volume loop and overall hemodynamics, making it critical to … Read more
