JACC Case Rep. 2024 Aug 21;29(16):102473. doi: 10.1016/j.jaccas.2024.102473.

Abstract

A 76-year-old woman with a history of recurrent pulmonary edema was referred because of sudden worsening of dyspnea and cardiogenic shock. Eclipsed mitral regurgitation was identified as the cause. We applied hand-grip stress echocardiography in diagnosis and therapeutic evaluation and managed her condition by transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair.

Keywords: eclipsed mitral regurgitation; hand-grip stress echocardiography.
