Reply Primum Non Nocere: First Do No Harm
Discussion section, the strong correlation shown in Figure 4A would not be possible if variability of afterload was an important consideration.3.If aortic regurgitation were underestimated by MRI, it would lead to an overestimation of mitral regurgitant volume, not an underestimation.4.We do not believe our study shows that pre-surgical left ventricular (LV) volumes predict recovery of LV end-diastolic volume (EDV) post-surgery. For example, in Table 4, patient 29 had mild mitral regurgitation (MR) and an end-diastolic diameter (EDD) of 6.2 cm, whereas patient 38 had severe MR and an EDD of 5.3 cm. Our study shows that ...
