Abstract:Background:Recent data suggest that the mechanisms contributing to ischaemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (MI) are different compared to chronic IMR. However, little is known about the dynamic changes over time of mitral valve (MV) geometry after acute MI. Methods and results: Comprehensive three-dimensional (3D) assessment of the MV geometry was performed in 30 patients in the fi rst 7 days after a fi rst ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and after 4 years… Show more
