Key result
Mitral valve repair reduces LV and LA volumes and LV mass postoperatively.
Why the study?
The study aimed to evaluate the structural and functional changes of left-sided cardiac chambers by CMRI in patients with chronic mitral regurgitation after mitral valve repair.
Does mitral valve repair improve left atrial and left ventricular structural and functional parameters measured by CMRI in patients with chronic mitral regurgitation?
Population
21 patients with chronic mitral regurgitation and normal LV function undergoing MVR
Comparison
Postoperative vs preoperative CMRI assessment

Associated with reverse remodeling on CMRI after mitral valve repair; extends echo data but leaves open functional and outcome benefits in chronic MR.

p-value: p=<0.01
Mitral valve repair in patients with chronic mitral regurgitation and normal LV function leads to significant reductions in LV and LA volumes and LV mass as assessed by CMRI.
Hayata et al. (2020) conducted a cohort in Chronic mitral regurgitation (n=21). Mitral valve repair vs. Preoperative baseline was evaluated on Structural and functional changes of left-sided cardiac chambers (LV and LA volumes and mass) (p=<0.01). Mitral valve repair significantly reduced LV end-diastolic volume, LV end-systolic volume, LV mass, and LA volume parameters postoperatively (p<0.01).
