Central Illustration – Progression of TR after Cardiac Surgery for Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation.

Central Illustration –

At 2 years after surgery for ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) progression of Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR) is not as common as generally expected. Postoperative TR depends not only on preoperative risk factors (baseline TR, tricuspid annular size, or atrial fibrillation), but is associated with postoperative factors such as MR recurrence and permanent pacemaker/defibrillator as well. *S, severe IMR trial; *M, moderate IMR trial
