Published in: ESC heart failure (2022)

Atrial functional mitral regurgitation and VFMR improvement after ablation were associated with atrial and ventricular reverse remodelling, respectively. It is possible that long-term prognosis is better in patients with AFMR than with VFMR, and in those with MR improvement than in those without.
