Quantitative analysis of mitral valve morphology in atrial functional mitral regurgitation using real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography atrial functional mitral regurgitation [PDF]
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) can result in atrial functional mitral regurgitation (MR), but the mechanism remains controversial. Few data about the relationship between the 3-dimensional morphology of the MV and the degree of MR in AF exist ...

Distinct leaflet-annular remodeling pattern in severe atrial functional mitral regurgitation: a three-dimensional echocardiography study [PDF]
Background Atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) is best described with normal left ventricular size and function, structurally normal mitral leaflets and dilated left atrium.

Functional tricuspid regurgitation and efficacy of electrical cardioversion in patients with atrial fibrillation and atrial functional mitral regurgitation [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Atrial functional mitral regurgitation (afMR) is common in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The presence of functional tricuspid regurgitation (fTR), which arises as a secondary effect of afMR, has the potential to impact the ...

Atrial functional mitral regurgitation in cardiology and cardiac surgery. [PDF]
Functional or secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) is a clear and present danger to cardiovascular health, with heightened morbidity and mortality rates. Secondary MR is caused by an imbalance between two sets of forces. There are two forces at play here.

Atrial Functional Mitral Regurgitation: A JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging Expert Panel Viewpoint.
Functional or secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Mechanistically, secondary MR is attributable to an imbalance between mitral leaflet tethering and closure forces, leading to poor ...

Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair vs medical therapy in atrial functional mitral regurgitation: a propensity score-based comparison from the OCEAN-Mitral and REVEAL-AFMR registries. [PDF]
Background and Aims Atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) commonly affects elderly and frail individuals. The prognostic impact of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) for AFMR has not been investigated.

Comparison of Meta-Analytical Estimates Between Surgical Repair and Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair for Atrial Functional Mitral Regurgitation. [PDF]
OBJECTIVES Atrial functional mitral regurgitation (MR) lacks well-defined treatment guidelines. Medical therapy alone is insufficient, and either TEER (transcatheter edge-to-edge) or surgery is recommended.

Midterm results of mitral valve repair for atrial functional mitral regurgitation: a retrospective study [PDF]
Background Annular dilation by left atrial remodeling is considered the main cause of atrial function mitral regurgitation. Although acceptable outcomes have been obtained using mitral ring annuloplasty alone for atrial functional mitral regurgitation ...

Atrial Functional Mitral Regurgitation: JACC Review Topic of the Week.
Unlike secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) in the setting of left ventricular (LV) disease, the occurrence of functional MR in atrial fibrillation (AF) and/or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has remained largely unspoken.
