Core Tip	The epidemiologic and prognostic impact of chronic functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is fully acknowledged. Multiple factors are involved in the pathophysiology of FMR, such as mitral valve remodeling, left ventricle (LV) remodeling and mechanical dyssynchrony. Deformation imaging by 2 dimensional speckle tracking and 3 dimensional echocardiography are the echocardiographic techniques currently used to better characterize LV dyssynchrony. Pharmacologic and cardiac resynchronization therapy is the first line-therapeutic approach to treat FMR. In case of failure of this first therapeutic approach, surgery and percutaneous treatment in high risk patients represent an alternative option.
