European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 05/27/09
Bove T et al. - SVR in addition to coronary revascularization and restrictive mitral annuloplasty results in significant clinical improvement in selected patients with advanced ischemic heart disease and severely dilated ventricles. SVR entails immediate improvement of systolic function, which remains sustained during short-term follow-up. Serial assessment of diastolic function is mandatory as LV compliance seems more sensitive to early changes induced by recurrence of mitral regurgitation and secondary ventricular dilation. Moreover, worsening of diastolic dysfunction should be timely recognized because of its adverse clinical impact.
