What is “functional” in functional MR ?
Dr. S. Venkatesan MD
JANUARY 6, 2025
Functional MR is a term used , when it occurs due to defective LV function, ie LV dysfunction. This happens in spite of normal mitral leaflets and intrinsically normal mitral valve apparatus. The above statement can be instantly disputed because LV muscle is also a part of the apparatus. Then realistically, functional MR occurs due to dysfunctional LV and infact becomes a part of primary.
