Clinical Outcomes of Mitral Valve Surgery in Atrial Functional Mitral Regurgitation in the REVEAL-AFMR Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The characteristics and treatment strategies of atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) are poorly understood.

Objective

To investigate the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of mitral valve (MV) surgery in AFMR.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective cohort study, called the Real-World Observational Study for Investigating the Prevalence and Therapeutic Options for Atrial Functional Mitral Regurgitation (REVEAL-AFMR), was conducted across 26 Japanese centers (17 university hospitals, 1 national center, 3 public hospitals, and 5 private hospitals). All transthoracic echocardiography procedures performed from January 1 to December 31, 2019, were reviewed to enroll adult patients (aged ≥20 years) with moderate or severe AFM
