Functional Mitral Regurgitation: Appraising the Evidence Behind Recommended Treatment Strategies

Zainab Samad, Eric J. Velazquez

Research output: Contribution to journal › Review article › peer-review

Abstract

Functional mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most common type of MR encountered in clinical practice. Because the disease arises from the ventricular aspect of the mitral valve apparatus, treatment therapies are less defined and outcomes are poor. In this review, the state of evidence for medical and surgical therapy in functional MR is appraised. Future directions for research in this area are also defined.
