Predicting clinical outcome by indexed mitral valve tenting in functional mitral valve regurgitation by Christoph R Sinning, Maria von Stumm, Florian Dudde, Theresa Holst, Tatjana Sequeira-Gross, Jonas Pausch, Lisa Müller, Hermann Reichenspurner, E Girdauskas

“…Objectives Mitral valve (MV) tenting parameters are indicators of left ventricular remodelling severity and may predict outcome in functional mitral regurgitation (FMR). We hypothesised that indexing of MV tenting area to body surface area (BSA), to mitral annulus diameter or gender-adjusted analysis of tenting parameters may improve their prognostic value.Methods We identified retrospectively 240 patients with consecutive FMR (mean age 68±10 years; men=135) from our institutional database who underwent isolated MV annuloplasty during a period of 7 years (2010–2016). …”
