Left ventricular shape is the primary determinant of functional mitral regurgitation in heart failure

Abstract: These data indicate that transformation of left ventricular shape (increased chamber sphericity) is the most likely substrate for the development of functional mitral regurgitation.

“…Moreover, in the dilated spherical ventricle the papillary muscles are pulled apart, which results in incompetence of the mitral valve and the development of "functional mitral regurgitation" (41). First of all this causes the loss of forward blood flow, and secondly the regurgitant flow further overloads the ventricle.…”

“…The myocardial performance index (MPI) was measured using the method described by Tei et al 19 Sphericity indexes were obtained at end diastole and end systole (SI D and SI S , respectively) as the volume of the left ventricle divided by the volume of a sphere with a diameter equal to the longest axis of the left ventricle measured in the apical view. 20 The wall motion score index (WMSI) was calculated according to a 17-segment model. 21 …”
