Degenerative Mitral Regurgitation Outcomes in Asian Compared With European-American Institutions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Clinical outcome and interventional thresholds for degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) were developed in studies of patients at European and American institutions (EAIs), but little is known about patients at Asian institutions (AsIs).

Objectives

This study sought to contrast DMR presentation/management/outcomes of AsI patients vs EAI patients.

Methods

Patients with DMR due to flail leaflet from Hong Kong and Singapore (AsI cohort, n = 737) were compared with EAI patients (n = 682) enrolled in the MIDA (Mitral regurgitation International Database) registry with similar eligibility criteria.

Results

AsI patients presented similar DMR lesion/consequences vs EAI patients, but they were younger, with fewer symptoms (74% vs 44% Class I), more sinus rh
