Background: Although it is known that mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) may increase the right ventricular (RV) afterload, leading to RV dysfunction, the exact detrimental effects on RV function and myocardial peak strain remain unresolved. In this study, we assessed the impact of MR on the impairment of RV myocardial deformation in patients with MI and explored the independent influential factors of RV peak strain.
