Fourteen-Year Temporal Trends in Patients Hospitalized for Mitral Regurgitation: The Increasing Burden of Mitral Valve Prolapse in Men.

ABSTRACT: Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the second most common valvular heart disease in Europe. The aging of the population and the increase in post-infarction survival could increase the prevalence of MR. To estimate the burden of patients hospitalized for MR in France in 2019 and temporal trends by etiology and sex from 2006 to 2020, we selected all patients hospitalized for MR using the national hospital database. In 2019, 49.2% of such patients had mitral valve prolapse (MVP), 17.1% had ischemic MR, 9.9% had rheumatic MR and 4.4% had MR with cardiomyopathy.
