Conclusion
Ischemic mitral regurgitation occurs relatively frequently in patients
with ischemic heart disease and is associated with an increased risk for
hospital admissions. The pathophysiology of ischemic mitral
regurgitation is complex and multifactorial. The best treatment option
is still debatable in majority of cases. Multidisciplinary approach by
the cardiologist, heart failure specialist, Imaging specialist,
structural interventional cardiologist and cardiac surgeon should be
considered in all cases. The intervention should suite the patient
condition and his comorbidities.
