Effect of cardiac resynchronization therapy on functional mitral regurgitation in heart failure

[摘要] Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) reduces functional mitral regurgitation (MR) at rest. This study assessed exercise-induced changes in MR in patients with heart failure who were helped by CRT. The determinants of these exercise-induced changes in MR were analyzed in asynchronous and resynchronized left ventricles. (C)2004 by Excerpta Medica Inc.
