Overview
In patients with mitral regurgitation who have risk factors for Coronary artery disease, such as advanced age, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension, or when there is a suspicion that mitral regurgitation is ischemic in origin, coronary angiography should be performed before surgery.
3.6.3.8. Indications for Cardiac Catheterization class i
1 Left ventriculography and hemodynamic measurements are indicated when noninvasive tests are inconclusive regarding severity of MR, LV function, or the need for surgery. (Level of Evidence: C) 2 Hemodynamic measurements are indicated when pulmonary artery pressure is out of proportion to the severity of MR as assessed by noninvasive testing. (Level of Evidence: C) 3 Left ventriculography and hemodynamic measurements are indicated when there is a discrepancy between clinical and noninvasive findings regarding severity of MR. (Level of Evidence: C) 4 Coronary angiography is indicated before MV repair or MV replacement in patients at risk for CAD. (Level of Evidence: C) class iii
1 Left ventriculography and hemodynamic measurements are not indicated in patients with MR in whom valve surgery is not contemplated. (Level of Evidence: C)
