<br/><br/> Severe mitral regurgitation (MR) is associated with reduced afterload and overestimated ejection fraction (EF) Correction MR may result in significant decline of EF in some patients . Aim : Determine the predictors of postoperative decline of EF in patients with severe MR after mitral valve surgery . Results : The mean age of patients was 33 ±12.7 years and 63.3% were females . the cause of MR was rheumatic in 20 patients myxomatous in 10 patients
