Overview
In patients with mitral regurgitation who have risk factors for coronary artery disease, such as advanced age, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension, or when there is a suspicion that mitral regurgitation is ischemic in origin, coronary angiography should be performed before surgery.
2008 and Incorporated 2006 ACC/AHA Guidelines for the Management of Patients with Valvular Heart Disease (DO NOT EDIT) [1]
Cardiac Catheterization Indications (DO NOT EDIT) [1]
| Class I |
| "1. Left ventriculography and hemodynamic measurements are indicated when noninvasive tests are inconclusive regarding severity of MR, LV function, or the need for surgery.(Level of Evidence: C) " |
| "2. Hemodynamic measurements are indicated when pulmonary artery pressure is out of proportion to the severity of MR as assessed by noninvasive testing.(Level of Evidence: C) " |
| "3. Left ventriculography and hemodynamic measurements are indicated when there is a discrepancy between clinical and noninvasive findings regarding severity of MR.(Level of Evidence: C) " |
| "4. Coronary angiography is indicated before mitral valve repair or mitral valve replacement in patients at risk for CAD.(Level of Evidence: C) " |
| Class III |
| "1. Left ventriculography and hemodynamic measurements are not indicated in patients with MR in whom valve surgery is not contemplated.(Level of Evidence: C) " |
