Key result
Review outlines diagnosis, echocardiographic features, and current surgical and percutaneous treatments for acute ischemic MR.
Why the study?
Acute ischaemic mitral regurgitation is an increasingly rare, challenging complication after acute myocardial infarction that carries a poor prognosis despite advances in surgical and percutaneous interventions.
This review summarizes the diagnosis, echocardiographic features, and current surgical and percutaneous treatment options for acute ischaemic mitral regurgitation.
Synthesizes diagnostic and treatment options for acute ischaemic MR; leaves open optimal strategy selection pending prospective trials.
Acute ischaemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) is an increasingly rare and challenging complication following acute myocardial infarction. Despite recent technical advances in both surgical and percutaneous interventions, a poor prognosis is often associated with this challenging patient cohort. In this review, we revisit the diagnosis and typical echocardiographic features, and evaluate current surgical and percutaneous treatment options for patients with acute IMR.
