The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $172,800 Project Grant under CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, Health Sciences Division. The grant, awarded on July 20, 2025, will fund research to predict the hemodynamic response to mitral valve interventions using pressure-volume analysis. The research aims to: 1) identify new echocardiographic measures of left ventricular systolic function in individuals with severe functional mitral regurgitation, 2) characterize the association between baseline left ventricular function and changes in function after a minimally invasive mitral valve repair procedure, and 3) assess the relationship between immediate changes in left ventricular function and sustained hemodynamic response as measured by an implantable wireless pulmonary artery pressure sensor. This research is expected to be completed by June 30, 2030 and will provide critical insights to improve patient selection and outcomes for mitral valve interventions.
