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.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors compared the clinical outcomes between different treatment strategies and identify predictors associated with the adverse outcomes in patients with functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) and nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).

The Prognostic Impact of Exercise-Induced Worsening of Mitral Regurgitation in Patients With Left Ventricular Dysfunction and Myocardial Ischemia

TL;DR: “Ischemic mitral regurgitation” is convenient shorthand for functional MR caused by changes in ventricular structure and function, ultimately‐but not necessarily directly ‐ related to the effects of ischemia.

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.

Prophylactic implantation of a defibrillator in patients with myocardial infarction and reduced ejection fraction.

TL;DR: In patients with a prior myocardial infarction and advanced left ventricular dysfunction, prophylactic implantation of a defibrillator improves survival and should be considered as a recommended therapy.
