FMR was present in 30 patients with preserved LVEF and in 65 with reduced LVEF. Higher E\/Ea, E\/A and larger mitral tenting were independent predictors of FMR regardless of LVEF. The mitral tenting area was an independent predictor of FMR severity in patients with reduced or preserved LVEF (p\u2009=\u20090.04 and p\u2009=\u20090.0045) in addition to E\/A (p\u2009=\u20090.0007), E\/Ea (p\u2009=\u20090.004) in patients with reduced and preserved LVEF, respectively. Higher E\/Ea was independently associated with larger mitral tenting in patients with reduced and preserved LVEF. Mitral tenting area was linearly related to E\/Ea (r\u2009=\u20090.30, p&lt;0.0001) and E\/A (r\u2009=\u20090.43, p&lt;0.0001) and LA enlargement (r\u2009=\u20090.54, p&lt;0.0001) after having paired 96 patients with and without FMR on indices of LV remodelling.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In both patients with preserved and reduced LVEF, mitral tenting that leads to FMR is mainly determined by both mitral tethering forces\u2014that is, displacement of papillary muscles and by pushing forces\u2014that is, increased left atrial pressure.
