Purpose: Although coronary artery bypass grafting alone (CABGa), or, with mitral
annuloplasty (CABGmp), is considered the best therapeutic strategy for patients with …

INTROduCTION Severe functional ischemic mitral regurgitation (FIMR) considerably
worsens the pro‑gnosis of patients after myocardial infarction. The complex …

Background The ideal management of ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR) remains a clinical
dilemma because of the suboptimal available therapeutic options. Recently, new concepts …

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the second most common form of valvular disease requiring
surgery. Correct identification of surgical candidates and optimising the timing of surgery are …

ASEQUEL OF MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION (MI), isch-emic mitral regurgitation (IMR), can
present acutely as cardiogenic shock (papillary muscle rupture), insidiously with symptoms …

Objectives It is not clear whether the presence and degree of chronic ischemic mitral
regurgitation (IMR) in patients with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction are related to LV …

Objective Focusing on 3-dimensional mitral valve structure, this study investigated predictors
for moderate ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) improvement after off-pump coronary artery …

BACKGROUND: Functional mitral regurgitation (MR) is one of the common and severe
complications in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. The detailed mechanisms that cause …

Ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) results from left ventricular remodelling after myocardial
infarction and severely affects cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Ischemic mitral valve …

The optimal management of moderate (grade 2–3+) ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR) in
patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains controversial. While …
