“…After controlling confounding variables completely, we found that moderate/severe MR compared to none MR was found to be significantly associated with 3-year MACCEs [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.83; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.21– 2.77; p = 0.0042], all-cause mortality (HR = 3.11; 95% CI = 1.75– 5.50; p=0.001) and RHF (HR = 1.69; 95% CI = 1.09– 2.62; p= 0.019) through Cox proportional hazards regression models.Conclusion: MR significantly predicted 3-year clinical outcomes in AMI patients undergoing PCI, highlighting the need for physicians to prioritize MR assessment in clinical practice.Keywords: mitral regurgitation, acute myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention, major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events…”
