This study evaluated the influence of surgeon case
volume on mitral valve repair rates and
outcomes and identified and found that
individual surgeon volume is a determinant of
not only mitral repair rates, but also freedom
from reoperation, and survival

This study examines the outcomes for a cohort with
echocardiographic screening-detected RHD, in
comparison to patients with clinically-diagnosed
RHD and screen negative cases and
demonstrates that echo screening-detected RHD
has a better prognosis than clinically detected
