Papillary-annular continuity and left ventricular systolic function after mitral valve replacement.

D R Salter, G L Pellom, C E Murphy

    Circulation
    |September 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    The subvalvular apparatus significantly impacts left ventricular function, particularly affecting major-axis length. However, load-independent measures show no difference in systolic function after mitral valve replacement with varied papillary muscle attachment.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • The subvalvular apparatus plays a crucial role in left ventricular (LV) mechanics.
    • Understanding its contribution after mitral valve replacement (MVR) is vital for optimizing cardiac function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of subvalvular apparatus tethering forces on LV function post-MVR.
    • To assess changes in LV dimensions and systolic performance with varying papillary muscle-annular continuity.

    Main Methods:

    • Canine model with micromanometer catheters and sonomicrometry for LV pressure and dimensions.
    • Mitral valve replacement with a bileaflet prosthesis and controlled manipulation of papillary muscle attachments.
    • Comparison of LV function in 'attached' versus 'detached' papillary muscle states.

    Main Results:

    • A significant increase in LV major-axis length was observed in the detached state at matched LV end-diastolic pressures.
    • Load-dependent systolic function was enhanced in the detached state.
    • No significant differences in load-independent systolic function variables were detected between attached and detached states.

    Conclusions:

    • While subvalvular apparatus detachment alters LV dimensions and load-dependent function, it does not significantly affect intrinsic, load-independent systolic performance.
    • These findings suggest that the subvalvular apparatus contributes to diastolic distensibility and influences systolic function through load modification rather than intrinsic contractility changes.
