In severe cases of chronic mitral regurgitation (MR), signs of [[left ventricular hypertrophy with strain]], [[left atrial enlargement]], and [[pulmonary hypertension]] may be observed on the resting [[electrocardiogram]] ([[ECG]]). Chronic mitral regurgitation is associated with an increased risk for [[atrial fibrillation]].  The ECG may reveal findings of [[coronary artery disease]] or other cardiac conditions that might have led to MR.

Overview

In severe cases of chronic mitral regurgitation (MR), signs of left ventricular hypertrophy with strain, left atrial enlargement, and pulmonary hypertension may be observed on the resting electrocardiogram (ECG). Chronic mitral regurgitation is associated with an increased risk for atrial fibrillation. The ECG may reveal findings of coronary artery disease or other cardiac conditions that might have led to MR.

Electrocardiogram

Left Atrial Enlargement

ECG findings suggestive of left atrial enlargement include:[1][2]

  • Broad, bifid P wave in lead II (P mitrale)
  • Enlargement of the terminal negative portion of the P wave in VI.
  • P wave amplitude >2.5mm in inferior leads (II, III, AVF) or >1.5mm in V1/V2 (P pulmonale)

Shown below is an ECG depicting the following in lead II:

  • Bifid P wave with > 40 ms between the two peaks
  • Total P wave duration > 110 ms

Shown below is an ECG depicting the following in lead V1:

  • Biphasic P wave with terminal negative portion > 40 ms duration
  • Biphasic P wave with terminal negative portion > 1mm deep

Left Ventricular Enlargement

Left ventricular enlargement is associated with an increased QRS voltage on ECG and a strain pattern or inverted check mark pattern to the T wave in the lateral leads.

Pulmonary Hypertension

ECG findings suggestive of pulmonary hypertension include:

  • Right axis deviation
  • R/S ratio > 1 in V1
  • R wave > 7mm in V1
  • rSR' complex in V1 with R' > 10mm
  • qR complex in V1
  • Right ventricular strain pattern: ST segment and T wave inversion in V1-V3 and occasionally in inferior leads (II, III, AVF)
  • Right bundle branch block: QRS duration> 0.12 seconds, rSR' in leads V1 & V2, wide slurred S waves in lateral leads (V5, V6, I)

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is commonly seen with mitral regurgitation: This is identified as an irregularly irregular rhythm with absence P waves.
