| Abstract | Introduction To evaluate the incidence and mechanism of mitral regurgitation [MR] as a complication in the evolution of myocardial infarction [MI]. Patient population: 95 patients diagnosed on the basis of clinical, electrocardiographic and coronary-angiographic data with coronary artery disease [CAD] with a history of MI with haemodynamically significant MR (>/=grade II). • All patients were treated in accordance with standard therapy for CAD and heart failure • 56 Patients with PTCA of the obstructed coronary artery • 28 Patients treated with CABG out of these 19 patients with mitral valvuloplasty Criteria for exclusion from the study: patients with organic MR (mitral valve modified as a result of rheumatic fever, infectious endocarditis or degeneration) or with myxomatous mitral valve prolapse. |
