This document discusses the conundrum of managing mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients with heart failure. It highlights the importance of using multimodality imaging to:
1) Assess the severity of MR at rest and with exercise to determine risk and need for intervention.
2) Evaluate left ventricular function, dyssynchrony, viability and ischemia to determine indications for cardiac resynchronization therapy or revascularization.
3) Assess left ventricular remodeling and mitral valve deformation to predict risk of recurrent MR after repair and determine the best repair/replacement option.
Imaging provides essential information to optimize treatment strategies for MR in heart failure.

Multimodality Imaging:
1- MR severity at rest and exercise (echo, stress echo)
2- LV function: EF/dyssynchrony/viability/ischemia (stress echo, CMR, PET)
3- LV remodeling and MV deformation (echo, 3D echo, CT, CMR)
Clinical: HF symptoms, episodes of decompensation

- provide relatively good discrimination
- a gross estimation of risk category
- cannot be used to estimate the exact operative mortality in

38. FUTURE PERSPECTIVES
Secondary MR is not ONLY a disease of the
left ventricle!
It is ALSO a maladaptation of the MV
leaflets
So look at the MV leaflet size

42. • Patients with secondary MR have inadequate
leaflet compensation, as expressed by decreased
ratios of leaflet area / annulus area
• Imaging will play a key role to understand why
some patients have adequate vs inadequate valve
adaptation
• Medications targeting the TGF-beta pathway may
help to reduce the leaflet/annulus size mismatch
and thus secondary MR in HF
