Background: Although non-transplant surgical interventions for non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM) are relatively effective, their feasibility and limitations have not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to define the feasibility and limitations of mitral valve repair, with or without surgical ventricular reconstruction for patients with NIDCM in terms of postoperative low cardiac output syndrome (LOS). Methods: Twenty non-transplant candidates (aged 57 ± 13 years) with NIDCM and significant mitral regurgitation had undergone mitral valve repair combined with submitral procedures. Using a 72-mL plastic ellipsoidal sizer, left ventricular reconstruction was performed concomitantly in 14/20 (70%) patients with extremely large ventricles. Total stroke volume, deceleration time of early trans-mitral flow wave, and the slope (Mw) in the preload recruitable stroke-work relationship were assessed using transthoracic echocardiography. LOS was defined as in-hospital death due to heart failure or a cardiac index less than 2.2 L/min/m2 before discharge. Results: There were three in-hospital deaths and four patients with postoperative cardiac index less than 2.2 L/min/m2 [n = 7 (35%), LOS group]. Preoperative total stroke volume, deceleration time, and the Mw were significantly lower in the LOS group compared to those in the non-LOS group; the predicted cut-off values for LOS were 84 mL/beat (p = 0.008), 133 ms (p = 0.015), and 45 erg cm-3 × 10^3 (p = 0.036), respectively. Preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction and ventricular size could not predict postoperative LOS. The one-year survival rate was 0% in the LOS group and 84% in the non-LOS group (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Mitral valve repair, with or without left ventricular reconstruction, could be contraindicated for NIDCM patients with low total stroke volume, deceleration time, and Mw in terms of high postoperative incidence of LOS. For high-risk patients, other therapeutic strategies might be necessary.
