Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study tests whether beta-blocker will benefit asymptomatic patients with chronic primary mitral regurgitation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this study tests 1) whether Toprol xl, a beta-blocker will benefit asymptomatic patients with chronic primary mitral regurgitation; 2) investigate the effects of chronic mitral regurgitation on left ventricular remodeling, left ventricular function,exercise capacity and clinical symptoms.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

1

Patients who are asymptomatic with normal left ventricular systolic function and who agree to be treated medically for severe primary mitral regurgitation with Beta-blocker therapy. Patients may entered into the Arm 2 (surgical treatment) later on when they develop symptoms or enlarged left ventricle or left ventricular dysfunction or wishes to have surgical treatment of severe primary mitral regurgitation.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Beta-blocker therapy (TOPROL-XL® )

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients who are asymptomatic with normal left ventricular systolic function and wish to be medically treated for severe primary mitral regurgitation with Beta-blocker.

2

Patients will be surgically treated for severe primary mitral regurgitation as a routine clinical care if they want to be treated surgically or develop symptoms or significant adverse left ventricular remodeling or left ventricular dysfunction.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

3

Health Control includes the subjects with no remarkable past medical history and not currently taking any medications. Normal subjects will be used for comparison with patients with severe primary mitral regurgitation in term of clinical, echocardiographic and neuro-hormonal findings.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
