Key result
Semisupine bicycle exercise stress echocardiography outperforms handgrip exercise as a prognostic tool in patients with mitral regurgitation by better addressing systolic pulmonary artery pressure and left ventricular systolic reserve.
This editorial highlights that semisupine bicycle exercise stress echocardiography provides better prognostic information regarding systolic pulmonary artery pressure and left ventricular systolic reserve compared to handgrip exercise in patients with mitral regurgitation.

Donal et al. (2021) conducted an editorial in Mitral regurgitation. Handgrip exercise stress echocardiography vs. Semisupine bicycle exercise stress echocardiography was evaluated on Prognostic value and physiological effects (LV contractile state, SPAP, MR volume). Semisupine bicycle exercise stress echocardiography outperforms handgrip exercise as a prognostic tool in patients with mitral regurgitation by better addressing systolic pulmonary artery pressure and left ventricular systolic reserve.
