Patients hospitalized at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between January 2020 and March 2022 and diagnosed with significant functional mitral regurgitation were enrolled. According to the type of regurgitation, patients were divided into the AFMR group and the ventricular functional mitral regurgitation (VFMR) group. Clinical and echocardiographic data were compared between the two groups. The patients were followed up until April 2024. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality, and the secondary endpoint was the composite of cardiac death and hospitalization for heart failure. Survival was compared between the two groups using Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with all-cause mortality in patients with functional mitral regurgitation. <b>Results:</b> The study cohort consisted of 269 patients, with a median age of 66.0 (57.5, 76.0) years, among whom 172 (63.9%) were male. Patients were divided into the AFMR group (<i>n=</i>61, 22.7%) and the VFMR group (<i>n</i>=208, 77.3%)<i>.</i> Compared with the VFMR group, the AFMR group had a higher proportion of female patients, older age, a higher prevalence of atrial fibrillation, lower prevalences of coronary artery disease, fewer patients with heart failure symptoms, and a lower proportion of prior visits to cardiovascular departments (all <i>P</i><0.05). Compared with the VFMR group, the AFMR group demonstrated significantly larger anteroposterior left atrial diameter, right atrial transverse diameter, and right ventricular transverse diameter, along with a higher LVEF and a higher prevalence of moderate or greater tricuspid regurgitation (all <i>P</i><0.05). The follow-up duration was 24.6 (5.8, 37.6) months. The AFMR group exhibited lower all-cause mortality (21.3% (13/61) vs. 38.9% (81/208), <i>P=</i>0.011) and a lower rate of the composite endpoint of cardiac death and heart failure hospitalization (24.6% (15/61) vs. 42.8% (89/208), <i>P=</i>0.010) than the VFMR group. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis also revealed that the AFMR group had a higher cumulative event-free survival rate than the VFMR group (<i>P</i><sub>log-rank</sub>=0.002)<i>.</i> Multivariate Cox proportional-hazards regression analysis demonstrated that age (<i>HR</i>=1.038, 95%<i>CI</i> 1.019-1.057, <i>P</i><0.001<i>),</i> cerebrovascular disease (<i>HR</i>=2.014, 95%<i>CI</i> 1.200-3.382, <i>P</i>=0.008), AFMR (<i>HR</i>=0.341, 95%<i>CI</i> 0.175-0.667, <i>P</i>=0.002), and moderate or greater tricuspid regurgitation (<i>HR</i>=2.297, 95%<i>CI</i> 1.467-3.596, <i>P</i><0.001) were independent predictors of all-cause mortality in patients with functional mitral regurgitation. <b>Conclusions:</b> Compared with VFMR, AFMR is more co","PeriodicalId":38755,"journal":{"name":"中华心血管病杂志","volume":"54 10","pages":"1181-1189"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149239892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 2D-STE evaluation parameters included left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) and right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain (RVFWLS). The difference between post-treatment RVFWLS and the baseline value (ΔRVFWLS) and the percentage change in RVFWLS were calculated. Right ventricular dysfunction was defined as a right ventricular fractional area change (FAC)<35% or tricuspid annular systolic peak velocity at the right ventricular free wall<10 cm/s. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to investigate the associations of age, cardiac volume, radiotherapy parameters, and other factors with ΔRVFWLS and the percentage change in RVFWLS. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to assess the predictive performance of the relevant factors for right ventricular dysfunction, and the Kaplan-Meier method was adopted for survival analysis. <b>Results:</b> A total of 40 patients were enrolled in this study, including 22 males, with a median age of 61.0 years.

Patients with primary HCM aged ≤21 years who underwent standard CMR examination at Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, between January 2010 and December 2018 were included. Baseline clinical and CMR data were collected, and follow-up was completed. The primary endpoint was composite adverse cardiovascular events, and the secondary endpoint was heart failure-related events. Patients were divided into the event group and the non-event group according to whether the primary endpoint occurred. Multivariate Cox proportional-hazards regression models were used to identify independent factors associated with composite adverse cardiovascular events and heart failure-related events. Using the cohort median left ventricular GLS of -9.2% as the cut-off value, patients were stratified into the preserved GLS group (≤-9.2%) and the impaired GLS group (>-9.2%).

After excluding patients with a history of MI or HF, patients with first STEMI were divided into the HF and non-HF groups according to the occurrence of in-hospital HF. Based on the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) measured on the last echocardiogram during hospitalization, patients with HF were classified into HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF, LVEF≥50%), HF with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF, LVEF 41%-49%), HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF, LVEF≤40%), and HF with missing LVEF.
