Overview
Ischemic mitral regurgitation can occur as a complication of either ST elevation myocardial infarction (MI) and acute myocardial ischemia. If mitral regurgitation occurs as a complication of MI it is permanent while if it occurs as a result of ischemia, it is transient and resolves with resolution of ischemia.
Pathophysiology
Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation can be due to :
- Papillary muscle rupture secondary to acute MI.
- Most often Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation is “functional” and due to “papillary muscle displacement” involving a left ventricular-wall motion abnormality as well as alteration in left ventricular geometry.
Epidemiology
Natural History
Diagnosis
Symptoms
The clinical presentation of Ischemic mitral regurgitation reflects the state of Left ventricular-dysfunction more than the state of mitral valve.
- Asymptomatic detected by Echocardiography or Angiography
- Weakness , Fatigue
- Exercise Intolerance
Signs
- About one half have Holosystolic murmur
- Decreased cardiac output
- Exercise produces severe regurgitation in patients with mild Ischemic mitral regurgitation.
- Severe cases present with pulmonary edema.
Exercise Echocardiography
- Effective regurgitant orifice (ERO) area increase with exercise is associated with increased risk for acute pulmonary edema
- Exercise induced ERO ≥13 mm2 is an independent predictor of cardiac death.
