In a pioneering study funded by the Wesley Research Institute, Dr Christopher Raffel and Professor John Fraser are leading advancements in the treatment of heart valve diseases, with a particular focus on mitral regurgitation. This condition, affecting around 200,000 Australians, significantly impacts quality of life.
Their research team, which includes Dr Hideaki Nonaka, a cardiologist from Japan with extensive expertise in echocardiography, is developing a novel ultrasound assessment technique to refine the diagnostic and treatment process for mitral regurgitation. This innovative approach aims to detect left heart dysfunction before transcatheter edge-to-edge repair, offering a more effective treatment strategy. Learn more about this groundbreaking research.
