Overview

Ischemic mitral regurgitation represents comparatively frequent complication of the myocardial infarction. Presence of the ischemic mitral regurgitation has a negative effect on the immediate mortality after the myocardial infarction and on the long-term survival. Ischemic mitral regurgitation is a functional, not structural impairment of the mitral valve and it is caused by altered geometry of the left ventricle. The article deals with the development and pathophysiology namely of the chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation and with the contemporary potential of surgical treatment of that serious complication of the ischemic heart disease. 

Key words:
ischemic mitral regurgitation, mitral valve repair, ischemic heart disease.
