Cardiac remodelling and function with primary mitral valve insufficiency studied by magnetic resonance imaging

Conclusion
CMR provides a reproducible quantitative technique for evaluation of MI, as MIVol and cardiac chamber volumes can be held against diagnostic cut-off values. The Aoflow and peak ejection rate indexed to LVEDV may reveal early LV systolic dysfunction in patients with severe MI. Severe MI is related to lower MI regurgitation volume and fraction than previously believed.
