Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the change of the right ventricular - pulmonary artery coupling (RVPAc) assessed by echocardiography pre - and post - valvular surgery in patient with structural mitral valve regurgitation. Subject and method: A retrospective study combined with prospective cross-sectional descriptive study on 33 patients with mitral valve regurgitation who underwent valvular surgery (valve repair or valve replacement) at 108 Military Central Hospital from January 2022 to December 2023. Result: 33 patients included in the study had an average of age 59.15 ± 11.67 years, the majority was male (75.8%), the right ventricular - pulmonary artery coupling ratio before and after surgery was
0.47 ± 0.15 and 0.58 ± 0.14 (p<0.05). RVPAc with cutoff value 0.059 can predict use of inotrope after surgery but not the other cardiac events. Conclusion: The RVPAc ratio decreased significantly after mitral valve surgery (valve replacement or valve repairment) and has predictive value (cutoff point <0.59) of inotropes support after surgery.
