Regional left ventricular deformation in primary mitral regurgitation

Year: 2011

Type: article

Abstract: MVP is a common disorder affecting 2-3% of the general population. MVP patients with severe MR may remain asymptomatic for a number of years; however, LV systolic function may be impaired post-operatively, even among those with normal pre-operative ejection fraction (EF). Myocardial strain is the assessment of myocardial local deformation and may provide a more accurate assessment of LV function.
