Abstract
The 5-year incidence of cardiac death and major cardiac events in asymptomatic severe degenerative MR with medical management is high (14±3% and 33±3%, respectively) 7. Major predictors of poor outcome are advanced age, symptoms of heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, atrial fibrillation, severity of MR, left atrial (LA) and left ventricular (LV) dilatation and depressed LV systolic function.7, 8, 9,10
