Swiss Medical Weekly, 2010 Mitral regurgitation (MR) involves systolic retrograde flow from the left ventricle into the left atrium. While trivial MR is frequent in healthy subjects, moderate to severe MR constitutes the second most prevalent valve disease after aortic valve stenosis.

Resolution of severe secondary mitral valve regurgitation following aortic valve replacement in infective endocarditis [PDF]
SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2021 We present the case of a patient with infective endocarditis anesthetized for replacement of severely regurgitant aortic valve. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography revealed a new diagnosis of severe secondary mitral regurgitation.

Diastolic Mitral Regurgitation
Methodist DeBakey Cardiovasc Journal, 2021 An 89-year-old female with a history of hypertension presented to the hospital with symptoms of fatigue. Her electrocardiogram (ECG) showed high-grade atrioventricular (AV) block, so a transthoracic echocardiogram was obtained to assess for structural heart abnormalities (Figure 1).

Diastolic Mitral Regurgitation [PDF]
Circulation, 1999 A67-year-old man underwent transthoracic echocardiography for the evaluation of heart failure. The echocardiographic examination demonstrated significant dilatation of all cardiac chambers with marked global left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction (LV ejection fraction of 10% to 15%).

Degenerative mitral regurgitation
Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2023 Degenerative mitral regurgitation is a major threat to public health and affects at least 24 million people worldwide, with an estimated 0.88 million disability-adjusted life years and 34,000 deaths in 2019. Improving access to diagnostic testing and to timely curative therapies such as surgical mitral valve repair will improve the outcomes of many ...

Functional mitral regurgitation [PDF]
Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2019 Dr. O.P. Yadava, Editor-in-Chief, IJTC, and Dr. J.L. Pomar, Former President, EACTS, discuss issues related to secondary mitral regurgitation (MR). Though it is considered a ventricular disease, mitral valve leaflets are not entirely normal. Alignment of subvalvular apparatus plays a more dominant role than annular dilatation. Early repair is preferred.

Ischaemic mitral regurgitation [PDF]
European Heart Journal, 2009 A 79-year-old woman with a history of treated hypertension and permanent atrial fibrillation was referred because of increasing shortness of breath at minimal exercise. Blood pressure was 110/49 mmHg, heart rate 80 b.p.m. (peak exercise rate 146 b.p.m.), and brain natriuretic peptide 86 pg/mL. Myocardial perfusion scan [ Panel A : stress (upper …

Hepatology Communications, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract Cardiovascular disease is a leading complication after both liver and kidney transplantation. Factors associated with and rates of cardiovascular events (CVEs) after simultaneous liver–kidney transplant (SLKT) are unknown. This was a retrospective cohort study of adult SLKT recipients between 2002 and 2017 at six centers in six United Network ...

Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2017 Ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) is a frequent complication of left ventricular (LV) global or regional pathological remodeling due to chronic coronary artery disease. It is not a valve disease but represents the valvular consequences of increased tethering forces and reduced closing forces.
