Mitral valve repair for severe mitral regurgitation: the way forward?

abstract：:Sequential alterations of left ventricular volumes and haemodynamics were studied in 29 patients between 4 days and 4 weeks after myocardial infarction. Left ventricular volume was determined by single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT), infarct size by creatine kinase (CK) analysis, angiography and thall...
