Multiscale model calibrated with a Bayesian algorithm predicts long-term outcomes of treatments for mitral valve regurgitation in animal models

In primary mitral valve regurgitation (MR), a failing valve induces volume overload (VO) of the left ventricle (LV), triggering neurohormonal responses and myocardial remodeling. Surgical valve repair is the most effective therapy for MR, improving symptoms and in some patients r...
