In Europe, mitral regurgitation (MR) is the second most common form of valvular heart disease needing surgery.1 Studies have shown that up to 50 % of patients with severe symptomatic MR are not referred to surgery, even if a surgical indication exists.1–3 Reasons for denying surgery include impaired left ventricular ejection fraction, a high operative risk, multiple comorbidities or advanced age…

The field of mitral valve disease diagnosis and management is in constant change. New understanding of disease pathology and progression, with improvements in and increased use of sophisticated imaging modalities have led to more complex treatments. Transcatheter mitral valve repair with a MitraClip device is resulting in good outcomes in patients with primary mitral regurgitation who are at high…

In patients with heart failure and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), secondary (functional) mitral regurgitation, in which the mitral valve leaflets and chordae are essentially normal, is the result of functional and structural alterations of the left ventricle (LV). Severe secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) is a predictor of poor clinical outcomes in this patient population due…

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is common in industrialized countries, with a prevalence of about 2% in the general population and about 9% in people over 75 years old.1,2 MR is classified as primary/degenerative when it results from a structural abnormality of the valve apparatus, or secondary/functional when it results from a disturbance of ventricular or annular geometry and/or function that impairs…
