Abstract
An understanding of the mechanics of left ventricular function in mitral regurgitation necessitates consideration of an acute, as opposed to a chronic, onset of the volume overload. In fact, it is now recognized from both human and experimental animal observations that acute and chronic regurgitation produce congestive heart failure by significantly different pathogenetic mechanisms, Table 1.
