Key result
Advanced multimodality imaging improves LV remodeling assessment to guide early surgery in chronic MR.
Why the study?
Mitral regurgitation remains a major diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, requiring multimodal imaging to accurately establish irreversible left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

May refine surgical timing in chronic MR; hypothesis-generating pending prospective outcome trials.
Advanced multimodality imaging, including 3D echocardiography and CMR, offers superior quantitative assessment of mitral regurgitation and cardiac remodeling compared to standard 2D echocardiography, aiding in optimal timing for surgical intervention.
Riebel et al. (2020) conducted a review in Chronic mitral regurgitation. Advanced multimodality imaging (3D Echocardiography and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance) was evaluated. Advanced multimodality imaging techniques, including 3D echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance, improve the assessment of left ventricular remodeling to guide early surgical intervention in chronic mitral regurgitation.
