Importance of mitral regurgitation inpatients undergoing percutaneous coronaryintervention for acute myocardial infarction

Abstract: Mitral regurgitation of any degree present on the baseline left ventriculogram during the index procedure is a powerful, independent predictor of mortality in patients undergoing mechanical reperfusion therapy for AMI. The presence of MR identifies high-risk patients in whom close out-patient follow-up is warranted, and who may benefit from aggressive adjunctive medical or surgical therapies.

“…Furthermore, hemodynamic parameters were not different between the two groups. In accordance with previous studies [1, 2, 4], MR was more commonly observed in older patients than in younger patients. Although the presence of more severe coronary artery disease and degeneration of the mitral valve with aging may be plausible mechanisms for the higher incidence of MR in older patients, the incidence of multivessel disease was comparable between patients with and without MR.…”

“…Although most MR after AMI is mild and rarely causes hemodynamic compromise, the presence of mild MR during the early phase of AMI is an independent predictor of long-term cardiovascular mortality [1,2,3,4]. Despite the importance of MR in the long-term prognosis, the process by which MR increases mortality remains to be elucidated, and there have only been a few reports regarding early predictors of MR after anterior AMI [5].…”

“…[1][2][3][4] Although increasing IMR severity has been shown to be significantly associated with increasing mortality, 2 significant left ventricular (LV) dilation, systolic dysfunction, and myocardial scar burden likely contribute to the progression of IMR, and they have also been shown to be powerful imaging predictors of adverse events in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). [5][6][7][8][9][10] IMR may become more severe with adverse remodeling during followup, and as a result, further adverse remodeling likely ensues.…”

“…Risk of death was directly related to the importance of IMR (3). In patients undergoing primary PCI in the setup of an acute MI (16), Pellizzony et al (17) showed that survival was markedly reduced in patients with IMR at both 30 days and one year, and was correlated with the severity of mitral regurgitation. Even the …”
