Are abnormal myocardial mechanics associated with myocardial fibrosis and ventricular arrhythmias in patients with mitral valve prolapse?
Abnormal myocardial mechanics in MVP are linked to basal inferior-posterior myocardial fibrosis and ventricular arrhythmias, offering potential imaging markers for arrhythmic risk.
Basal inferior-posterior myocardial fibrosis in MVP is associated with abnormal MVP-related myocardial mechanics, which are potentially associated with ventricular arrhythmia. These associations suggest pathophysiological links between MVP-related mechanical abnormalities and myocardial fibrosis, which also may relate to ventricular arrhythmia and offer potential imaging markers of increased arrhythmic risk.
