Functional Mitral Regurgitation: Patient Selection and Optimization

Interv Cardiol Clin. 2024 Apr;13(2):167-182. doi: 10.1016/j.iccl.2023.11.001. Epub 2024 Jan 20.

Abstract

Functional mitral regurgitation appears commonly among all heart failure phenotypes and can affect symptom burden and degree of maladaptive remodeling. Transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair therapies recently became an important part of the routine heart failure armamentarium for carefully selected and medically optimized candidates. Patient selection is considering heart failure staging, relevant comorbidities, as well as anatomic criteria. Indications and device platforms are currently expanding.

Keywords: Functional mitral regurgitation; Heart failure; Secondary mitral regurgitation; Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair.
