Why the study?
Are specific imaging characteristics associated with papillary muscle origin of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with mitral valve prolapse?
Are specific imaging characteristics associated with papillary muscle origin of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with mitral valve prolapse?
Specific imaging features on TTE and CMR, along with female gender, can help identify a papillary muscle origin for ventricular arrhythmias in patients with mitral valve prolapse.
May guide VA localization in MVP; leaves open prospective validation of these associations.
Female gender, more symmetric bileaflet prolapse on TTE, and the presence of papillary muscle LGE on CMR may be associated with papillary muscle origin of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with mitral valve prolapse.
