The prognosis of patients with coronary artery disease may be threatened by ischaemic mitral regurgitation. Apart from rupture of a papillary muscle which requires rapid valve replacement. Chronic ischaemic papillary muscle dysfunction can often be a severe complication of ischaemic heart disease. The authors report the case of a patient with dyspnoea but no angina of effort. Cardiovascular investigations with right heart catheterisation demonstrated the occurrence of severe mitral regurgitation only during angioplasty of the left marginal artery.
