One of the mechanisms of development of functional mitral regurgitation after myocardial infarction is the increased papillary muscle distance which results due to ventricle remodeling. The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term effect of papillary muscle approximation (PMA) on the cardiac function of patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and increased papillary muscle distance.
