Comparison between total LVEF, forward LVEF and global longitudinal strain according to MR severity and associated LV dysfunction. This figure shows the comparison of Total LVEF, Forward LVEF and Global Longitudinal Strain when there is no mitral regurgitation (A), a mild mitral regurgitation with preserved LV systolic function (B), and a severe mitral regurgitation with a LV systolic dysfunction (C). LV indicates left ventricular; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; MR, mitral regurgitation.
