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.

Echocardiographic evaluation of mitral geometry in functional mitral regurgitation [PDF]
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).Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) occurs as a consequence of systolic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction caused by ischemic or nonischemic ...

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

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

An 89-year-old woman with paroxysmal atrial tachycardia (AT) was diagnosed with severe atrial functional mitral regurgitation. On transesophageal echocardiography, the mitral regurgitation jet appeared larger during sinus rhythm and smaller during AT ...

Transcatheter Treatment Options for Functional Mitral Regurgitation: Which Device for Which Patients? [PDF]
Mitral regurgitation is the most common valvular disease in the developed world, with approximately 24.2 million people being affected worldwide and a higher prevalence in older age groups.

Predictors of functional mitral regurgitation recurrence after percutaneous mitral valve repair
We aimed to identify predictors of mitral regurgitation recurrence (MR) after percutaneous mitral valve repair (PMVR) in patients with functional mitral regurgitation (FMR).

Overview of the catheter-based methods for treatment of mitralregurgitation [PDF]
Mitral regurgitation or mitral insuffi ciency is the second most common valve pathology requiring a surgical treatment worldwide. It is characterized by an abnormal return of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium during the systole.

Background- Ejection fraction (EF) as a marker of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and the appropriate thresholds for diagnosing severe or mild/moderate LV dysfunction in mitral regurgitation are doubted and poorly followed in clinical practice.
