Preserving mitral subvalvular apparatus during mitral valve replacement (MVR) enhances left ventricular (LV) function. The mitral subvalvular apparatus modulates LV systolic torsion for optimal pump performance.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Cardiac Mechanics
  • Left Ventricular Function

Background:

  • Mitral valve replacement (MVR) surgery is increasingly performed with preservation of the subvalvular apparatus.
  • Optimal left ventricular (LV) performance post-MVR is observed, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the mechanisms by which preserving the mitral subvalvular apparatus influences LV performance after MVR.
  • To investigate the role of the mitral subvalvular apparatus in LV systolic torsional deformation and pump function.

Main Methods:

  • Myocardial markers were placed in 14 dogs' LV and septum.
  • Animals underwent MVR with either chord-sparing (MVR-Intact) or chord-severing (MVR-Cut) techniques.
  • LV systolic function (Ees), relaxation (tau), and torsional deformation (twist, recoil) were assessed under baseline and stimulated conditions.

Main Results:

  • The MVR-Intact group showed a trend toward increased contractility and faster relaxation compared to baseline.
  • A significant inverse relationship between LV systolic function and systolic twist rate was observed before MVR.
  • This inverse relationship disappeared after chord-severing MVR, suggesting loss of subvalvular apparatus influence.

Conclusions:

  • The mitral subvalvular apparatus plays a crucial role in modulating LV systolic torsional deformation.
  • Preservation of the subvalvular apparatus during MVR is important for maintaining LV pump efficiency through torsional mechanics.
