The Evolving Concept of Secondary Mitral Regurgitation Phenotypes
- Narrative review
Study context
- Population
- Secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR): atrial (atrial secondary mitral regurgitation (aSMR)) and ventricular phenotypes
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Phenotypic characteristics of atrial and ventricular SMR
- aSMR: severe left atrial enlargement with preserved LV anatomy and function; different patterns of mitral annular distortion cause different aSMR phenotypes
- Ventricular SMR: relation of SMR severity to LV dilation, degree of pulmonary hypertension and RV dysfunction are key phenotypic characteristics for prognosis and treatment response
