2070 Mitral valve prolapse is associated with abnormal CMR late gadolinium enhancement of the mitral valve leaflets and the papillary muscles

Year: 2008
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Perivalvular ventricular and papillary muscle fibrosis has been well described in pathologic studies of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) patients, but has not been reported by non-invasive imaging. We applied 2D and high resolution 3D late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in 14 MVP patients with myxomatous mitral leaflets and 4 control patients.
