Abstract
Background Chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) is frequent complication of myocardial infarction. It is associated with high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We examined the effects of surgery of ischemic mitral valve on reverse remodeling of left ventricle, impact on functional state of patients after operation, assessment of early morbidity and mortality. Methods
Highlights

We examined the effects of surgery of ischemic mitral valve on reverse remodeling of left ventricle, impact on functional state of patients after operation, assessment of early morbidity and mortality
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and surgical correction of ischemic mitral valve were performed in 52 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and IMR and 52 patients with CAD and IMR underwent only CABG
