Overview
Regular follow up is recommended among patients with asymptomatic mitral regurgitation and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.[1]
Follow Up
Echocardiography is performed for follow up among asymptomatic patients with MR to assess the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and end-systolic dimension. The frequency of follow up with an echocardiogram among asymptomatic patients with MR and normal LVEF is as follows:[1]
- Mild MR: Every 3-5 years
- Moderate MR: Every 1-2 years
- Severe MR: Every 6-12 months (the frequency increases if the the LV dilatation increases)
