Abstract

Ischemic mitral regurgitation, a late complication of coronary artery disease, develops secondary to changes in the mitral subvalvular apparatus and left ventricular geometry. Surgical treatment of ischemic mitral regurgitation can improve symptoms of congestive heart failure but has not clearly demonstrated a survival benefit. In this chapter, we discuss the pathophysiology of ischemic mitral regurgitation, experimental and clinical evidence underlying current treatment algorithms, and future areas of investigation.
