Use of Phenylephrine for Assessment of Mitral Regurgitation Severity (NCT04500899)
Evaluating the Severity of Mitral Regurgitation Using Phenylephrine During Transesophageal Echocardiography
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The study proposes to develop a phenylephrine protocol to be used during transesophageal echocardiography, whereby intravenous phenylephrine would be used to increase afterload with the intent to mimic the awake hemodynamic profile and variation that occurs with normal physical activity. The expectation is to see changes in severity of Mitral Regurgitation (MR) grade with increasing afterload, which in turn can provide more accurate quantification of MR severity to assist in clinical decision making.
