Ledwoch and colleagues demonstrated in their article entitled "Impact of transcatheter mitral valve repair using MitraClip on right ventricular remodeling" that right ventricular function improved in most of the patients following MitraClip implantation whereas 20% of them experienced worsening of right ventricular function which associated with worse prognosis, despite the latter cohort achieved comparable improvement in the mitral regurgitation. Given most of the latter cohort had atrial fibrillation, aggressive catheter ablation to improve atrial fibrillation before or after MitraClip implantation might reverse left atrial function as well as improving biventricular function and long-term prognosis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008943 Mitral Valve The valve between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart. Bicuspid Valve,Bicuspid Valves,Mitral Valves,Valve, Bicuspid,Valve, Mitral,Valves, Bicuspid,Valves, Mitral
D008944 Mitral Valve Insufficiency Backflow of blood from the LEFT VENTRICLE into the LEFT ATRIUM due to imperfect closure of the MITRAL VALVE. This can lead to mitral valve regurgitation.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

D001281 Atrial Fibrillation Abnormal cardiac rhythm that is characterized by rapid, uncoordinated firing of electrical impulses in the upper chambers of the heart (HEART ATRIA). In such case, blood cannot be effectively pumped into the lower chambers of the heart (HEART VENTRICLES). It is caused by abnormal impulse generation.
