Current Problems in Cardiology, 2009
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is increasingly prevalent and poses an important public health problem. There are several mechanisms through which MR can occur. Primary (organic) MR is due to intrinsic valvular disease, whereas secondary (functional) MR is due to disruption of an otherwise normal mitral apparatus because of abnormal ventricular geometry ...

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2000
Chronic severe mitral regurgitation is a surgically correctable disorder. Advances in cardiac surgery (including mitral valve repair and less invasive operations), a low postoperative complication rate, and improved long-term prognosis have reduced the threshold for surgical referral. Choosing the optimal timing for surgery remains the cardinal problem.

Quantitation of Mitral Regurgitation
Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2011Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most frequent valve disease. Nevertheless, evaluation of MR severity is difficult because standard color flow imaging is plagued by considerable pitfalls. Modern surgical indications in asymptomatic patients require precise assessment of MR severity.

Degenerative mitral regurgitation
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2020Purpose of review Degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) continues to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality with surgical mitral valve repair remaining the gold standard for the treatment of severe disease. The purpose of this review is to summarize recent advances in the understanding of DMR as well as the progress

The Murmurs of Mitral Regurgitation
Diseases of the Chest, 1969Not all murmurs of mitral regurgitation are holosystolic. Occasionally, the patient with mitral reflux will demonstrate an early systolic murmur, a late systolic murmur or a mid-systolic murmur. Rarely, a systolic murmur is absent. We have also described a patient with silent mitral regurgitation and a short diastolic rumbling murmur.

Functional Mitral Regurgitation
Cardiology in Review, 2010Functional mitral regurgitation (MR) is a common clinical entity which will likely increase in the future due to predicted demographic changes. It is also associated with poor long-term survival. The anatomic structure of the mitral valve apparatus is complex and consists of several components, each of which can be affected by a variety of diseases ...

Functional mitral regurgitation
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2020Purpose of review Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is a complex condition in which significant mitral regurgitation coexist with cardiomyopathy and heart failure and carries an increased risk for associated morbidity and mortality.
