Abstract
Background: Mitral regurgitation (MR) is frequently observed in patients with myocardial infarction (MI). However, the incidence of severe MR in contemporary population is unknown.
Aims: The study evaluates the prevalence and prognostic impact of severe MR in contemporary population of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).
Methods: The study group consists of 8062 patients enrolled in the Polish Registry of Acute Coronary Syndromes over the years 2017‒2019. Only the patients with full echocardiography performed during the index hospitalization were eligible. Primary composite outcome was 12-month major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) (death, non-fatal MI, stroke and heart failure [HF] hospitalization) compared between patients with and without severe MR.
Results: 5561 NSTEMI patients and 2501 STEMI patients were enrolled into the study. Severe MR occurred in 66 (1.19%) NSTEMI patients and 30 (1.19%) STEMI patients. Multivariable regression models revealed that severe MR is an independent risk factor of all-cause death in 12-month observation (odds ratio [OR], 1.839; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.012‒3.343; P = 0.046) in all MI patients. Patients with NSTEMI and severe MR had higher mortality (22.7% vs. 7.1%), HF rehospitalization rate (39.4% vs. 12.9%) and MACCE occurrence (54.5% vs. 29.3%). Severe MR was associated with higher mortality (20% vs. 6%) and higher HF rehospitalization (30% vs. 9.8%), stroke (10% vs. 0.8%) and MACCE rates (50% vs. 23.1%) in STEMI patients.
Conclusions: Severe MR is associated with higher mortality and MACCE occurrence in patients with MI in 12-month follow-up. Severe MR is an independent risk factor of all-cause death.
