BACKGROUND:Acute mitral regurgitation may cause pulmonary edema, but the pathogenetic role of chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation, a dynamic condition, has not yet been characterized.METHODS:We prospectively studied 28 patients (mean [+/-SD] age, 65+/-11 years) with acute pulmonary edema and left ventricular systolic dysfunction and 46 patients without a history of acute pulmonary edema. The two groups were matched for all baseline characteristics. Patients underwent quantitative Doppler echocardiography during exercise. Exercise-induced changes in the left ventricular volume, the ejection fraction, the mitral regurgitant volume, the effective regurgitant orifice area, and the transtricuspid pressure gradient were compared in patients with and without acute pulmonary edema.RESULTS:The two groups had similar clinical and baseline echocardiographic characteristics. They also had similar exercise-induced changes in heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and left ventricular volumes. In the univariate analysis, patients with recent pulmonary edema had a much higher increase than did the patients without pulmonary edema in mitral regurgitant volume (26+/-14 ml vs. 5+/-14 ml, P
