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.

ACC/AHA Guidelines- Indications for Cardiac Catheterization (DO NOT EDIT) [1]

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)}}
