Objective Ischemic mitral regurgitation is a predictor of heart failure resulting in increased mortality in patients with chronic myocardial infarction. It is uncertain whether the presence of papillary muscle (PM) infarction contributes to the development of mitral regurgitation in patients with chronic myocardial infarction (MI). The aim of the present study was to assess the correlation of PM infarction depicted by MRI with mitral regurgitation and left ventricular function. Methods and Materials 48 patients with chronic MI and recent MRI and echocardiography were retrospectively included. The location and extent of MI depicted by MRI were correlated with left ventricular function assessed by MRI and mitral regurgitation assessed by echocardiography. The presence, location and extent of PM infarction depicted by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE-) MRI were correlated with functional parameters and compared with patients with chronic MI but no PM involvement. Results PM infarction was found in 11 of 48 patients (23 %) using LGE-MRI. 8/11 patients (73 %) with PM infarction and 22/37 patients (59 %) without PM involvement in MI had ischemic mitral regurgitation. There was no significant difference between location, extent of MI and presence of mitral regurgitation between patients with and without PM involvement in myocardial infarction. In 4/4 patients with complete and in 4/7 patients with partial PM infarction, mitral regurgitation was present. The normalized mean left ventricular end-diastolic volume was increased in patients with ischemic mitral regurgitation. Conclusion The presence of PM infarction does not correlate with ischemic mitral regurgitation. In patients with complete PM infarction and consequent discontinuity of viable tissue in the PM-chorda-mitral valve complex, the probability of developing ischemic mitral regurgitation seems to be increased. However, the severity of mitral regurgitation is not increased compared to patients with partial or no PM infarction. Key points  Citation Format

Chronic Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation

The present study tests the hypothesis that a mitral tetrahedron (MT) is a useful geometrical surrogate for assessment of chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation (CIMR). Fifty-eight subjects were divided into three groups on the basis of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and the presence or absence of CIMR: LVEF ≥0.5 and negative CIMR ( group 1, n = 28), LVEF <0.5 and negative CIMR ( group 2, n = 12), and LVEF <0.5 and positive CIMR ( group 3, n = 18). MT was defined by its four vertices at the anterior annulus, posterior annulus, and medial and lateral papillary muscle roots, determined by MRI at peak systole. The results showed no clear cutoff values of MT parameters between groups 2 and 1. In contrast, all MT indexes were significantly different between groups 3 and 2 ( P < 0.05), and significant cutoff values differentiated the two groups. A scoring system employing parameters of the whole MT confirmed the absence of CIMR with total edge length index <268 mm/BSA1/3, total surface area index <2,528 mm2/BSA2/3, and volume index <5,089 mm3/BSA (where BSA is body surface area). The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were 1.00. This preliminary study demonstrates that MT might serve as a good geometrical surrogate for assessing CIMR. The derived geometrical criteria of MT may be useful in surgical correction of CIMR.

ABSTRACT Acute ischemic mitral regurgitation is due to complete or partial rupture of either anterolateral or posteriomedial papillary muscles occurring within a week of acute myocardial infarction. Chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation is due to postinfarct remodeling leading to imbalance between tethering and closing forces of mitral valve apparatus. We present a 64-year-old male, presenting with acute pulmonary edema secondary to severe mitral regurgitation, a week after his myocardial infarction. Transthoracic echocardiogram detected a mobile intracardiac mass near anterior mitral leaflet with no clear-cut intracardiac origin of this mass. Perioperative transesophageal echocardiography detected rupture of one of the heads of posteriomedial papillary muscle. This case illustrates a rare presentation of postinfarct rupture of one of the heads of posteriomedial papillary muscle occurring late after infarction presenting as an intracardiac mass, which can have surgical implications.
