Why bother about distinguishing Barlow mitral valve disease or FED? A brilliant lecture given by @iamritu at #EchoDGK2024 satellite symposium organized @AHagendorff #echofirst @eromerodorta @denisamuraru With crucial points: ✅ barlow and FED are totally different diseases, not stages of one disease ✅ if we reduce MR we may reduce SCD in FED/flail, but may be not in AMVP. Is AMVP also a cardiomyopathy? ✅pathologic MAD can be corrected surgically (annuloplasty/repair) and cannot be adressed with TEER-> higher mortality with TEER
