Long-term echocardiographic changes in left ventricular size and function following surgery for severe mitral regurgitation

BACKGROUND: Chronic mitral regurgitation (MR) results in a state of chronic left ventricular (LV) volume overload, resulting in compensatory dilatation. Mitral valve (MV) surgery for regurgitation reduces LV preload but increases LV afterload. Few data are available documenting subsequent changes in...
