Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the clinical and prognostic significance of atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) on the background of optimal drug therapy.
Materials and methods: The retrospective study included 150 patients (age 75.5 ± 9.9 years, 54% men) with HFpEF with AF and AFMR on the background of optimal drug therapy. Clinical and demographic characteristics (including the scale of assessment of the clinical condition), laboratory and instrumental diagnostic results, and drug therapy were evaluated. MR was assessed as minor, moderate, or severe using a multiparametric approach, including an assessment of the effective area of the regurgitation hole and the MR fraction. The effect of AFMR on rehospitalization for HF, combined endpoint (CE) was studied [cardiovascular death (CVD) and rehospitalization] during the follow-up period of 589 (217-1039) days.
Results: Eighty (53.3%) patients had moderate AFMR, and 23 (15.3%) had severe AFMR. These patients had lower SBP and DBP values (p = 0.014), and permanent AF was more common among them (p = 0.025) compared with patients with minor MR. Independent predictors of moderate/severe AFMR were the constant form of AF (OR 3.3 [1.4-8.0]; p = 0.007), end-systolic left ventricular distance (OR 3.0 [1.4-6.5]; p = 0.006), taking antiplatelet agents (OR 0.11 [0.02-0.70]; p = 0.020). The frequency of outcomes in the general group was 46.7% for CE, 34.0% for rehospitalization for HF, and 14.0% for CVD. The predictors of CE were moderate/severe FMR (HR 2.6 [1.4-4.9]; p = 0.002), scores on the scale of assessment of the clinical condition (HR 1.14 [1.04-1.25]; p = 0.003); severe FMR (HR 4.1 [1.7-10.2]; p = 0.002), moderate FMR (HR 2.7 [1.2-5.8]; p = 0.013), creatinine level (HR 0.990 [0.980-1,000]; p = 0.040).
Conclusion: Despite the limitations, the importance of AFMR as a factor influencing clinical outcomes in patients with HFpEF and AF has been demonstrated. The present study highlights the need for further investigation of this condition and the development of personalized patient management strategies.

The journal was founded by the prominent Russian therapists M.P. Konchalovsky and G.F. Lang in 1923. Then its editors-in-chief were Professors V.N. Vinogradov and A.G. Gukasyan. Since 1972, E.I. Chazov, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, has been heading the editorial board of the journal.
Over 90 years, there have been more than 1000 issues where the authors and editorial staff have done their best for readers to keep abreast of current advances in medical science and practice and for physicians to master the advanced principles of recognition and treatment of a wide spectrum of visceral diseases.
The papers published in the journal (editorials, original articles, lectures, reviews, etc.) cover both current scientific achievements and practical experience in diagnosing, treating, and preventing visceral diseases. The authors of publications are not only Russian, but also foreign scientists and physicians. All papers are peer-reviewed by highly qualified Russian specialists.
The journal is published monthly. Traditionally, each issue has predominantly certain thematic areas covering individual therapy specializations. Every year, one of the issues is devoted to related problems in practical medicine (allergology and immunology, neurology and psychiatry, obstetrics, oncology, etc.). This all draws the attention of the reading public to the journal.
The journal is indexed in RSCI (Russian Science Citation Index), PubMed/Medline, Index Medicus, Scopus/EMBASE, Web of Science Core Collection (Science Citation Index Expanded), Web of Science (Russian Science Citation Index - RSCI, Current Contents Connect, BIOSIS Previews), Google Scholar, Ulrich''s Periodicals Directory.
The journal is included in the list of periodicals recommended by the Higher Attestation Committee for publishing the papers containing the basic materials of doctoral and candidate dissertations.
By the decision of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, the “Therapevticheskiy Arkhiv” was awarded the Botkin medal. It was admitted to the European Association of Sciences Editors (EASE).
The journal was honored with the Golden Press Fund decoration at the 13th International Press Professional Exhibition.
