Mitral valve surgery is linked with lower secondary mitral regurgitation in humans (secondary mitral regurgitation with poor left ventricular ejection fraction <=30%) (p<0.001).
“Postoperative echocardiograms showed significantly improved mitral regurgitation, from moderate to severe to less than trivial (p<0.001)”

Most moderate or severe mitral leaks lacked valve-flap disease

Among moderate or severe mitral leaks, 68.5% involved widening of the valve’s supporting ring or changes in the main pumping chamber.Among moderate or severe mitral leaks, 68.5% involved widening of the valve’s supporting ring or changes in the main pumping chamber.
