Evaluation of Right Ventricular Function Post Mitral Valve Operations

Evaluation of Right Ventricular Function Post Mitral Valve Operations in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension.

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.
