most common ECG abnormality = SINUS TACHYCARDIA

can also have a normal ECG

may also be right axis deviation, right bundle branch block and dominant R wave in leads V1 and V2 (due to right heart strain)

Class I Mgmt of 1° MR:
🫀Mild symptoms from severe MR–even w/ normal LVEF–has worse prognosis. Perform MV surgery for symptomatic severe 1° MR, regardless of LV function.
🫀Perform MV surgery in asymptomatic severe disease w/ LVEF ≤60% or LVESD ≥40 mm.
