Clinical Outcomes of Mitral Valve Surgery in Atrial Functional Mitral Regurgitation in the REVEAL-AFMR Registry

Abstract

The findings of this cohort study suggest that in patients with AFMR, who were typically older and predominantly had atrial fibrillation, MV surgery was associated with lower rates of adverse clinical outcomes. Future studies are warranted to investigate a possible causal relationship to better regulate cardiovascular medicine.
