Article Synopsis
- Atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) is under-researched, leading to a need for understanding its prevalence, characteristics, and treatment outcomes.
- A study conducted across 26 Japanese medical centers reviewed echocardiography data from 177,235 patients, identifying 1,007 cases of AFMR, predominantly in older adults, with a significant portion also having atrial fibrillation.
- Among AFMR patients, 113 underwent mitral valve surgery, often alongside tricuspid valve intervention, revealing that these patients had more severe mitral regurgitation and higher associated heart failure rates compared to those who did not have surgery.

For early detection of CTRCD, we examined whether native T1 mapping and global longitudinal strain (GLS) using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and biomarkers analysis are useful.
