Mitral regurgitation mechanisms related to systolic anterior motion in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Journal of Thoracic Disease 2024 January 31
BACKGROUND: Systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve can result in mitral regurgitation (MR) and adverse outcomes in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). However, the mechanism and characteristics of MR severity mediated by SAM are unresolved. This study aimed to elucidate the anatomic and hemodynamic associations of MR and the impact of septal myectomy on changes in MR severity in patients with HCM.
METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent septal myectomy with SAM and interpretable imaging between 2017-2022. Significant MR was defined as moderate or more MR. The mitral valve, papillary muscle, and left ventricular geometry were quantitatively evaluated via echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography.
RESULTS: Out of 34 patients, two groups were identified: those with preoperative significant MR (n=16) and those without significant MR (n=18). Patients with significant preoperative MR exhibited worse heart failure symptoms at baseline than those without. Following myectomy, these patients showed higher residual left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradients at rest and with provocative measures than those without preoperative MR. Multivariate regression analysis revealed a significant association between the tenting area and MR severity. Additionally, the chordal cutting procedure alleviated the tenting area [2.1 (1.8-2.6) vs. 1.4 (1.2-1.6) cm2 ] compared to those without it.
CONCLUSIONS: Our preliminary data suggested that chordal cutting with septal myectomy was associated with an improvement in the tenting area, contributing to MR severity. This procedure may serve as an effective therapy for patients with SAM and significant MR.
