Mitral Valve Reconstruction in Chronic Heart Failure (CHF): Identification of Predictors for a Successful Therapy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to evaluate hemodynamic and echocardiographic parameters in patients with secondary mitral insufficiency and CHF.
-
Identification of hemodynamic parameters as predictor for a successful mitral valve reconstruction in CHF patients.
-
Collection of clinical factors for the assessment of the postoperative course after mitral valve reconstruction in CHF patient.
