Magnetic resonance imaging with 3-dimensional analysis of left ventricular remodeling in isolated mitral regurgitation: implications beyond dimensions.

BACKGROUND Although surgery is indicated in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) when left ventricular (LV) end-systolic (LVES) dimension is >40 mm, LV ejection fraction may decrease after mitral valve surgery. We hypothesize that significant LV remodeling before surgery is not reflected by standard echocardiographic parameters measured at the base of the heart. METHODS AND RESULTS Ninety-...

Quantification of left ventricular remodeling in response to isolated aortic or mitral regurgitation

BACKGROUND The treatment of patients with aortic regurgitation (AR) or mitral regurgitation (MR) relies on the accurate assessment of the severity of the regurgitation as well as its effect on left ventricular (LV) size and function. Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) is an excellent tool for quantifying regurgitant volumes as well as LV size and function. The 2008 AHA/ACC management guide...
