Brief Summary

Rheumatic heart disease remains a major health problem in developing countries. It is the most important sequel of rheumatic fever and occurs in about 30% of patients with rheumatic fever.Rheumatic heart disease presents with different degrees of pancarditis and associated valve failure. Involvement of the mitral leaflets can cause mitral regurgitation (MR) or stenosis and eventually can lead to heart failure. Mitral repair or replacement is therefore recommended before left ventricular (LV) dysfunction develops. Study Objectives/Specific Aims Overall Goal: To determine the benefit the patient with pulmonary hypertension will get from mitral valve replacement as regard function improvement and remodeling of the right ventricle.

  • Objective1: Identify risk factors that are predictive of outcomes.(Type and severity of Mitral valve pathology , severity of pulmonary hypertension, tricuspid regurge, preoperative RV dysfunction)
  • Objective2: Determine the value of management strategies (Mitral valve replacement in pulmonary hypertension i.e. : decrease RV pressure overload and enhance RV remodeling)
  • Objective3: Assessment of the outcomes clinically \& Echocardiographically : postoperative results during hospital stay and follow up (short term up to 3 months).

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

All patients who presented to our department of Cardiothoracic surgery, Assiut University hospitals from May 2018 to April 2020 and who are candidate for mitral valve replacement and meet the listed inclusion and exclusion criteria will be eligible for the study. The charts will be reviewed and eligible patients will be filtered. The needed variables will be entered into our data base, for later data analysis.

You may qualify if:

  • All ages will be accepted.
  • Isolated mitral valve lesion either stenosis or regurge.
  • Good LV function (EF \<45%).
  • Any degree of tricuspid valve regurge..

You may not qualify if:

  • Concomitant Aortic valve lesion needs replacement.
  • Poor LV function (Low EF\> 45%).
  • Other causes of pulmonary hypertension i.e.: (Chronic obstructive or restrictive pulmonary disease, connective tissue disease and chronic thromboembolism).
  • Emergency and Redo operations.
