Abstract :
[en] Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the second most common valvular heart disease referred for corrective surgery. Diagnostic and management dilemmas are not uncommon when dealing with MR patients. Exercise testing plays an important role in sorting out some of these clinical challenges. In primary asymptomatic MR, exercise testing allows symptom assessment, confident link of symptoms to valve disease severity, safe deferral of surgery for the next 1-year in patients with preserved exercise capacity, insights into the mechanism of exercise-induced dyspnea and helps in individual risk stratification. Moreover, exercise testing in the form of exercise stress echocardiography is also useful in the evaluation of patients with secondary ischemic MR for risk stratification as well as for the detection of patients with moderate ischemic MR in whom mitral valve repair at the time of surgical revascularization may add benefit.
