About ManageMR:

Use this app to help verify MR severity and etiology, inform intervention decisions and need for referral based on severity, etiology, and other parameters.

HOW to use this app:

1. Enter your patient’s profile on this screen by answering the questions below.

2. Review full advice based on that profile on the Advice screen.

WHEN to use this app: After thorough examination of a patient with chronic MR, assessing a patient's clinical presentation including symptoms, physical exam, exercise tolerance, and goals of care. In addition, ECHO findings should be reported using standardized nomenclature to further guide the surgical/interventional decision-making supported by this app.

Etiology is likely Primary
If Secondary MR is suspected, use diagnostic testing to determine if it is of ischemic or nonischemic origin, and to determine LV function.

Consider: Patients may reduce their activity level to avoid symptoms. It is helpful to ask the patient or their family what is the most vigorous activity s/he currently undertakes and compare that to what s/he was able to do previously.

Initiate or intensify GDMT for HF with LV systolic dysfunction
Etiology is likely Mixed
Etiology is likely Secondary
In making final determination of etiology, consider common pitfall: anterior leaflet override due to posterior leaflet restriction is pure secondary MR and not mixed etiology.

Consider: Echo tends to underestimate MR severity in eccentric or wall-impinging jets.

Consider: Common reasons for overestimation of MR severity, such as high MR driving velocity and MR duration limited to very early or very late systole.

Severity is likely mild based on assessment.

However, final determination should depend on integration of these parameters in conjunction with other clinical evidence including symptoms, exercise tolerance, physical exam and chamber sizes. In cases where different parameters are discordant among themselves or with clinical findings, severity is still uncertain and further testing is advised. See Advice tab for more information.
