Background: Restrictive mitral annuloplasty (RMA) is widely employed for patients with functional mitral regurgitation (MR). Its improvement of left ventricular (LV) function has been demonstrated by only a gradual increase in LV ejection fraction (EF) in the chronic phase. However, the detailed evaluation of changes in LV function has not been fully elucidated in functional MR patients before and...
We present two cases with ischemic cardiomyopathy and similar functional mitral regurgitation (fMR) at rest, who represented different outcomes following mitral valve repair. In case 1, fMR was enhanced during exercise echocardiography, and his symptoms were improved following the repair and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). In case 2, fMR did not change during exercise, and the improvement of...
