TLDR
There is no clearly demonstrable mortality benefit conferred by MVA for significant MR with severe LV dysfunction, and a prospective randomized control trial is warranted for further study of mortality with MVA in this population.

Mitral Valve Repair

TL;DR: Despite improvements with medical management, 1 year, 3 year and 5-year survival after hospitalization from CHF have been reported at approximately 80–60 %, 50 % and 40–20 % respectively, which is worse than that of most cancers.

The effect of spironolactone on morbidity and mortality in patients with severe heart failure. Randomized Aldactone Evaluation Study Investigators.

TL;DR: Blockade of aldosterone receptors by spironolactone, in addition to standard therapy, substantially reduces the risk of both morbidity and death among patients with severe heart failure.
