Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mitral regurgitation (MR) remains one of the most prevalent valvular heart diseases worldwide, with a substantial clinical impact. In recent years, the field has witnessed major advances in the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of MR. Novel imaging techniques; refined classification systems, including atrial functional MR; the development of transcatheter mitral valve repair and replacement options; and the extensive use of surgical mitral valve repair techniques have reshaped clinical practice. These innovations have expanded therapeutic possibilities, particularly for high-risk or inoperable patients. Despite this progress, important questions remain regarding optimal patient selection, timing of intervention, and long-term outcomes following novel therapies.
This Special Issue aims to present the latest developments in clinical management, interventional strategies, and medical therapies for MR.
We encourage authors to submit original research articles or comprehensive review papers that explore any aspect of MR; we are particularly interested in translational findings and clinical applications.
Dr. Angelo Squeri
Guest Editor
