Background—The persistence of moderate ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) after isolated
coronary artery bypass graft surgery is an important independent predictor of long-term …

Abstract Background/Aims: Mitral regurgitation (MR) following myocardial infarction (MI) may
be a (sub) acute complication which independently predicts reduced survival. We sought to …

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a progressive disorder that involves potentially irreversible left
ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Current guidelines [1] recommend surgical treatment in patients …

Background and Objectives In clinical practice, significant recurrence of mitral regurgitation
(MR) is observed frequently even after surgical treatment for ischemic MR (IMR). The …

Results Two out of the 67 patients (3%) died perioperatively. During follow-up (3-18 months)
mitral regurgitation decreased by one grade in 29 patients, by two grades in 28, by three …

Ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR) is a common occurrence following myocardial infarction
and its presence is associated with poor outcomes. The optimal treatment of ischemic MR is …

Ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) represents a common complication after myocardial
infarction. The valve is anatomically normal and the incompetence is the result of papillary …

To evaluate the importance of preserving the mitral complex, clinical outcomes and
postoperative left ventricular (LV) functions of 175 patients with pure mitral regurgitation …

BACKGROUND: Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a common complication of ischemic heart
disease, and its presence portends adverse outcomes. As the exact mechanisms of …

Exercise echocardiography has the advantages of its wide availability, low cost, and
versatility for the assessment of mitral regurgitation severity. Furthermore, exercise …
