Dynamic and quantitative evaluation of degenerative mitral valve disease: A dedicated framework based on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging [PDF]
Background: Accurate quantification of mitral valve (MV) morphology and dynamic behavior over the cardiac cycle is crucial to understand the mechanisms of degenerative MV dysfunction and to guide the surgical intervention. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)

Arrhythmic Mitral Valve Prolapse: Introducing an Era of Multimodality Imaging-Based Diagnosis and Risk Stratification. [PDF]
Mitral valve prolapse is a common cardiac condition, with an estimated prevalence between 1% and 3%. Most patients have a benign course, but ever since its initial description mitral valve prolapse has been associated to sudden cardiac death.

Prognostic value of mitral valve prolapse and mild mitral regurgitation in competitive athletes [PDF]
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and mild mitral regurgitation (MR) are ones of the most common structural changes of the heart and affect many young individuals, who aspire to partake in competitive sport or high intensity recreational exercise.

Myocardial extracellular volume by T1 mapping: a new marker of arrhythmia in mitral valve prolapse. [PDF]
We aimed to evaluate the relationship between mitral annular disjunction (MAD) severity and myocardial interstitial fibrosis at the left ventricular (LV) base in patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP), and to assess the association between severity of

Dark-blood late gadolinium enhancement CMR improves detection of papillary muscle fibrosis in patients with mitral valve prolapse [PDF]
PURPOSE: Papillary muscle fibrosis may act as an arrhythmogenic substrate in patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP). Previous studies used conventional bright-blood late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance (LGE CMR) imaging to ...

Finite element analysis of mitral valve annuloplasty in Barlow's disease [PDF]
Barlow’s Disease affects the entire mitral valve apparatus causing mitral regurgitation. Standard annuloplasty procedures lead to an average of 55% annular area reduction of the end diastolic pre-operative annular area in Barlow’s diseased valves ...

Modified Anatomical Ablation Strategy for Mitral Isthmus
ABSTRACT Background Durable mitral isthmus (MI) block remains challenging in persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Ethanol infusion into the vein of Marshall (EI‐VOM) enhances efficacy, but the minimal endocardial ablation extent post‐EI‐VOM is undefined.
