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.

Accurate determination of mitral regurgitation by assessing its influence on the combined diastolic mitral and pulmonary venous flow: just 'looking twice'. [PDF]

Secondary Mitral Regurgitation
In their review of secondary mitral regurgitation (MR), Asgar et al. [(1)][1] attribute abnormal leaflet tethering largely to apical and lateral papillary muscle displacement. To our knowledge the first comprehensive quantitative echocardiographic study of this topic was reported in 1983 [(2)][2].

Interventional treatment of mitral valve regurgitation: an alternative to surgery? [PDF]
Mitral regurgitation is a highly prevalent condition among elderly patients, affecting almost 10% of the general population aged 75 and older. Left untreated, severe mitral regurgitation results in high mortality and frequent hospitalisation for ...

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

Background Annular dilation by left atrial remodeling is considered the main cause of atrial function mitral regurgitation. Although acceptable outcomes have been obtained using mitral ring annuloplasty alone for atrial functional mitral regurgitation ...
