“…Frequently, MR is present in the early phases of AMI, though its incidence is dependent upon the detection technique. Mitral regurgitation, within several days to one week after AMI, has been reported to be present in 9% to 55% of patients by auscultation (11,21,22), and in 20% to 56% of patients by echocardiography (11,23,24). More recently, two angiographic studies have detected MR in 13% and 17.9% of patients within 7 h of admission for AMI (9,10), and in 19.4% of patients at a mean of four days (12).…”

“…2,3 In 1 study, which excluded patients who were older than 65 years, who had previous MI, multiple comorbidities, or severe congestive heart failure, 19% of patients had MR at 5 to 8 weeks after the event. 4 Even in these young and relatively healthy patients after first MI, mortality at 15 months was 3 times higher for patients with IMR compared with those without IMR (9.8% vs 3.2%). In addition, HF developed relatively rapidly, and by 15 months, 20% of patients with IMR had mild to moderate HF compared with 3% of patients without IMR.…”

“…In addition, HF developed relatively rapidly, and by 15 months, 20% of patients with IMR had mild to moderate HF compared with 3% of patients without IMR. 4 Timely reperfusion is the primary goal of therapy for acute ST-elevation MI (STEMI). In the current era, this is best accomplished by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) when resources are available.…”
