A computer implemented method and a computer system implementing the method provide enterprises with pre-emptive / proactive operational risk management. First, historical data on the occurrence of operational risk events and other internal business / external metrics and indicators are collected. This is followed by construction of a model for correlating the risk events with internal and external metrics and indicators. This can result in the estimation of the probability of occurrence of risk events and a model for the severity of a loss event (in termns of, say, dollar amount) as a function of the various variables that are related to or have leverage on the business operation. The Key Risk Indicators for the business are then identified based on the model. Following this, the identified key risk factors are forecasted for future time periods and used to identify early warnings of risk and is further validated. This is used as a basis for the identification and execution of appropriate proactive / pre-emptive risk management and mitigation actions.

Among the four heart valves, the mitral is the most frequently affected by disease resulting in defective valve opening (stenosis) or incomplete closure (insufficiency). Most often this is due to distortion of the valve apparatus secondary to rheumatic or degenerative disease. These lesions, called “organic” require open heart surgery. In patients with coronary disease or with dilated cardiomyopathy the mitral valve can be insufficient although structurally normal. These valves are “functionally” insufficient. Because of the poor condition of these patients where open heart surgery carries a significant operative risk, less invasive percutaneous alternatives are being explored today. The present novel invention represents a radical departure from other procedures because it repositions the posterior papillary muscle utilizing a device located in the interventricular veins.
