Outcomes and predictors of patients with moderate or severe functional mitral regurgitation and nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) and nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are associated with high mortality.

Objectives

Our study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes between different treatment strategies and identify predictors associated with the adverse outcomes.

Methods

A total of 112 patients with moderate or severe FMR and nonischaemic DCM were included in our study. The primary composite outcome was all-cause death or unplanned hospitalization for heart failure. The secondary outcomes were individual components of the primary outcome and the cardiovascular death.

Results

In this study, the primary composite outcome occurred in 26 patients (44.8%) in mitral valve repair (MVr) group and 37 patients (68.5%) in medical g
