Pathophysiology of chronic mitral regurg:
-Reduced left ventricular ejection fraction in mitral regurgitation is serious... and indicates a poor prognosis regardless of treatment!
-When ejection fraction declines, diastolic filling pressures, left atrial & pulmonary pressures rise, Causing the left ventricle to dilate, increasing afterload further... creating more mitral regurgitation
