Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a relatively common finding in coronary heart disease. Ischaemic mitral regurgitation is a frequent complication of left ventricular global or regional pathological remodelling due to chronic coronary artery disease. The treatment of patients with moderate MR and coronary artery disease remains controversial – coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) with mitral valve repair/replacement reduces the prevalence of MR but does not demonstrate any survival benefit to the patient, yet CABG alone results in increase in the severity of MR. AIM The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the severity of mitral regurgitation and other significant transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) findings (left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), septal thickness, left ventricular mass (LV mass), left ventricular ejection fraction (EF), etc.) before and after coronary artery bypass graft surgery in patients with moderate-to-severe MR.METHODS The study population consisted of 68 patients with ischaemic moderate-to-severe mitral regurgitation and ischaemic heart disease that underwent CABG without mitral valve repair/replacement between 2012 and 2016 in the Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LSMU) Kauno klinikos. Patients that had MR caused by rheumatic, infectious, congenital diseases were excluded from the study. Complete transthoracic echocardiography was performed for the selected group before the surgery and postoperatively (<30 days post surgery). The patients were divided in two groups – those with moderate MR (group 1 – 40 patients) and those with severe MR (group 2 – 28 patients). Both morphological and functional parameters were evaluated: left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter index (LVEDDi), septal thickness, left ventricular mass, posterior wall thickness, left ventricular ejection fraction, relative wall thickness (RWT), right ventricular [...].
