Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “The treatment of Mitral Disease: From the Ring to the Clip”, will mainly focus on mitral valve disease, diagnosis, and treatment. Mitral valve regurgitation is currently the most frequent valve disorder around the wall and its treatment is developing in different paths, accomplishing a lesser invasive strategy mainly for sicker and older patients. Special attention will be dedicated to the physiopathological and biological mechanism leading to mitral regurgitation and atrial fibrillation. In addition, functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) as a very complex disease, mainly caused by left ventricular dysfunction, resulting from an alteration in the geometry of mitral valve apparatus in the absence of structural abnormalities is of special interest. In this setting, the best treatment is still debatable.
We cordially invite authors in the field to submit original research or review articles pertaining to this important and fast-progressing field of biomedicine.
Dr. Ernesto Greco
Guest Editor
