Assessing emerging causes of mitral regurgitation: atrial functional mitral regurgitation

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 ...

Echocardiographic evaluation of mitral geometry in functional mitral regurgitation [PDF]

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2008
Objectives We sought to evaluate the geometric changes of the mitral leaflets, local and global LV remodeling in patients with left ventricular dysfunction and varying degrees of Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR).

Recurrent mitral regurgitation after annuloplasty for functional ischemic mitral regurgitation [PDF]

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2004
We sought to characterize the temporal return of mitral regurgitation after annuloplasty for functional ischemic mitral regurgitation; to identify its predictors, particularly with respect to annuloplasty type; and to determine whether annuloplasty type influences survival.From April 1985 through November 2002, 585 patients underwent annuloplasty alone

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

Eur J Cardiothorac Surg
Abstract 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. This study compared long-term outcomes of mitral valve surgery (MVS) for patients with AFMR

Alfieri stitch for temporary severe functional mitral regurgitation after aortic valve replacement

Surgical Case Reports, 2018
The outcome in functional mitral regurgitation after aortic valve replacement is unclear. A frail 82-year-old woman with severe aortic valve regurgitation and mild to moderate functional mitral valve regurgitation (NYHA functional class III) was referred

Association between the proportionality of functional mitral regurgitation and survival after mitral valve operationCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Open
Objective: The concept of proportionate and disproportionate functional mitral regurgitation suggests that transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral repair may benefit patients with a smaller left ventricle relative to a higher regurgitant burden.

Current Diagnosis and Therapeutic Approach of Functional Mitral Regurgitation [PDF]

Acta Medica Indonesiana
Functional mitral regurgitation is characterized by normal structures of the mitral valve and chordae tendinea, but the regurgitation occurs due to geometric changes in the left atrium and left ventricle.

The echocardiographic assessment of functional mitral regurgitation [PDF]

European Journal of Echocardiography, 2010
Functional mitral regurgitation (MR) is common, clinically important, and mechanistically complex. Its assessment by echocardiography can be challenging, and particular care is needed in the quantification of severity. Echocardiographers need to be aware of the potential limitations of flow convergence and vena contracta methods in assessing severity ...

Adaptive cardiac resynchronization therapy for dilated cardiomyopathy with functional mitral regurgitation

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2017
We report the case of a man in his 60s who had dilated cardiomyopathy with severe functional mitral regurgitation. Four years after a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator was implanted, this device
