Assessing emerging causes of mitral regurgitation: atrial functional mitral regurgitation [PDF]

Journal of International Medical Research
Functional or secondary mitral regurgitation is linked to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. From a mechanical perspective, secondary mitral regurgitation occurs due to an imbalance between the forces that tether the mitral leaflets and ...

Surgical Strategy for Atrial Functional Mitral Regurgitation With Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) combined with atrial fibrillation (AF) has become a significant clinical challenge. This study evaluates surgical treatment strategies based on the degree of MR and rhythm control therapy for ...

Outcomes of Mitral Valve Surgery for Atrial Functional Mitral Regurgitation vs Ventricular Functional Mitral Regurgitation. [PDF]

Eur J Cardiothorac Surg
OBJECTIVES Atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) is a unique category of functional mitral regurgitation (FMR), and surgical outcomes compared to traditional ventricular FMR (VFMR) are limited.

Unraveling the interplay: early-stage atrial functional mitral regurgitation and left atrial electrical substrate in atrial fibrillation patients [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) triggers atrial remodeling, impacting atrial function and ablation efficacy. This remodeling leads to atrial cardiomyopathy and dilatation, linked to mitral regurgitation, forming atrial functional mitral regurgitation (
