Surgical treatment of functional mitral regurgitation

International Journal of Cardiology, 2013
Incidence of functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is increasing due to aging and better survival after acute myocardial infarction, the most frequent cause of FMR. At the basis of FMR there is a displacement of one of both papillary muscle(s) and/or annular enlargement, which can be primitive or, more often, secondary.

Functional Mitral Regurgitation in the Critically Ill

2009
Functional mitral regurgitation is the consequence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction in the presence of an anatomically normal mitral valve. Systolic left ventricular failure is often the cause of congestive heart failure, which is a frequent reason for admission to the intensive care unit (ICU).

Mechanistic insights into functional mitral regurgitation

Current Cardiology Reports, 2002
Effective valve repair in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) demands an understanding of its mechanism. In patients with ischemic heart disease and functional MR, which doubles late mortality, normal leaflets are apically displaced. This reflects an altered balance of forces acting on the leaflets: increased tethering forces restricting closure ...

Functional mitral regurgitation in heart failure

Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2006
Mitral regurgitation commonly occurs in patients with heart failure. Systolic dysfunction is the hallmark of dilated cardiomyopathy. Mitral functional regurgitation is mitral incompetence in the absence of intrinsic lesions of the mitral valve apparatus. Echocardiography can make a major contribution to the diagnosis of cardiomyopathies. A more careful

Percutaneous Approaches to Functional Mitral Regurgitation

2016
Many patients with functional (or secondary) mitral regurgitation (MR) are not eligible for surgery due to advanced age, comorbidities and severe left ventricular dysfunction. For these reasons, over the past few years, several transcatheter techniques have been developed to treat secondary MR with less invasive approaches.

Functional mitral regurgitation.

Cardiologia (Rome, Italy), 1999
Functional MR is an important complication, which adversely affects the prognosis of patients with ischemic heart disease or global LV dysfunction. Two-dimensional Doppler echocardiography is a noninvasive and useful method for the diagnosis of functional MR.

[Functional mitral regurgitation].

Anadolu kardiyoloji dergisi : AKD = the Anatolian journal of cardiology, 2009
Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is the mitral regurgitation that occurs due to myocardial disease in the presence of normal mitral valve leaflets. This scenario has the different characteristics than the organic mitral regurgitation. Functional mitral regurgitation is a disease of the ventricle and occurs by the deformation of the mitral valve ...

Functional Mitral Valve Regurgitation

Current Cardiovascular Risk Reports, 2019
Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) occurs when mitral leaflets are prevented from adequate coaptation by underlying left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, mitral annular dilation, or both. This review aims to clarify the complex clinical issues in FMR, including diagnosis and therapy. Even mild FMR has been shown to affect survival negatively.
