Why the study?
An integrated imaging approach could be necessary for a comprehensive assessment of patients with MVP and symptoms suggestive for arrhythmias.
Does an integrated multimodality imaging approach improve the assessment of mitral annular disjunction and myocardial fibrosis in patients with mitral valve prolapse?
Does an integrated multimodality imaging approach improve the assessment of mitral annular disjunction and myocardial fibrosis in patients with mitral valve prolapse?
An integrated imaging approach combining echocardiography and CMR is recommended for comprehensive assessment of patients with MVP, particularly to identify small length MAD and myocardial fibrosis.
Echocardiography remains essential for mitral valve assessment; review leaves open whether routine CMR integration improves MAD and fibrosis detection in MVP.
An integrated imaging approach could be necessary for a comprehensive assessment of patients with MVP and symptoms suggestive for arrhythmias. If echocardiography is fundamental for the anatomic and haemodynamic characterisation of the MV disease, CMR may better identify small length MAD as well as myocardial fibrosis.
