Adverse cardiac remodelling is the main determinant of patient prognosis in degenerative
valvular heart disease (VHD). However, to give an indication for valvular intervention …

Degenerative mitral regurgitation is a major threat to public health and affects at least 24
million people worldwide, with an estimated 0.88 million disability-adjusted life years and …

Background: Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a frequent disease that can be complicated by
mitral regurgitation (MR), heart failure, arterial embolism, rhythm disorders, and death. Left …

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is a versatile imaging tool that brings much to the
assessment of valvular heart disease. Although it is best known for myocardial imaging …

Whether sex differences exist in the cardiac remodeling related to aortic regurgitation (AR) is
unclear. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is the current non-invasive reference standard …

Objectives This study used cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to evaluate whether
elevated extracellular volume (ECV) was associated with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) or if …

Valvular regurgitation is common in developed countries with an increasing prevalence due
to the aging of the population and more accurate diagnostic imaging methods …

Objectives The aims of this study were to quantify preoperative myocardial fibrosis using late
gadolinium enhancement (LGE), extracellular volume fraction (ECV%), and indexed …

Background Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common valvulopathy, with a subset
developing sudden cardiac death or cardiac arrest. Complex ventricular ectopy (ComVE) is …

Secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) occurs despite structurally normal valve apparatus due
to an underlying disease of the myocardium leading to disruption of the balance between …
