PREDICTIVE VALUE OF RIGHT VENTRICULAR MECHANICS ON POSTOPERATIVE RIGHT VENTRICULAR FUNCTION IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING MITRAL VALVE SURGERY

Severe mitral regurgitation induces significant changes not only in the left, but also in the right ventricular (RV) morphology and function. The PREPARE-MVR study (PRediction of Early PostoperAtive Right vEntricular failure in Mitral Valve Replacement/Repair patients) aims to identify parameters
