Mechanisms and predictors of mitral regurgitation after high-risk myocardial infarction
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Mitral regurgitation (MR) has been associated with adverse outcomes after myocardial infarction (MI). Without structural valve disease, functional MR has been related to left ventricular (LV) remodeling and geometric deformation of the mitral apparatus. The aims of this study were to elucidate the mechanistic components of MR after high-risk MI and to identify predictors of MR progression during follow-up.
