Fig 1 Study construct. All enrolled patients had complete definition of valvular morphologic characteristics and dysfunction by Doppler echocardiography. Mitral valve operations were decided through consensus of the patient, cardiologist, and cardiac surgeon. High repeated response rates (78%) were obtained from the 6-month follow-up assessment questionnaires. (HR-QOL = health-related quality of life; PES = psychoemotional status.)

Fig 2 Psychoemotional status (PES) at diagnosis and follow-up. (A and C) Baseline and follow-up score medians and (B and D) 6-month mean change for (A and B) anxiety and (C and D) posttraumatic stress (PTS) scores. Anxiety was assessed using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and PTS was assessed using PCL-C scale. Each group is represented by a bar according to grayscale indicated and an asterisk represents statistical significance versus baseline measurement in follow-up panels and versus other groups in the delta panels. Note that patients who underwent mitral operation had worst scores preoperatively, improved most from pre- to postoperative period, and are indistinguishable from controls at follow-up, underscoring postoperative normalization of emotional well-being.
