A patient develops Mitral Regurgitation following myocardial infarction. The likely cause for this complication is
Infarction involving the valve
Rupture of chorda tendinae
Dilatation of the ventricle
Atrial fibrillation
(B) Rupture of chorda tendinae # MR is frequently secondary to ischemia.> Thus, it may occur as a consequence of ventricular remodeling or with fibrosis of a papillary muscle in patients with healed myocardial infarction.> It may develop acutely in patients with acute infarction involving the base of a papillary muscle.
