Prognostic Implications of Magnetic Resonance - Derived Quantification in Asymptomatic Patients with Organic Mitral Regurgitation: Comparison with Doppler Echocardiography-Derived Integrative Approach.

Conclusions -The findings of the present study suggest that the MRI-derived assessment of OMR can better identify patients with severe OMR and adverse outcome than ECHO-derived integrative approach warranting close follow-up and perhaps, early mitral valve surgery.
