Multimodality Evaluation of Left Ventricular Remodeling In Mitral Regurgitation: A Pilot Study

February 27, 2026 updated by: Alex K. Bratt, Mayo Clinic
The purpose of this research is to determine the feasibility of a larger, future study proposing a multimodal approach using cardiac CT and MRI to assess the risk of developing left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR).

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

N/A

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Adults with chronic severe primary mitral regurgitation undergoing robotic mitral annuloplasty at Mayo Clinic Rochester

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age >= 18
  • Male or Female
  • A diagnosis of severe chronic primary mitral regurgitation
  • Undergoing isolated robotic mitral annuloplasty at Mayo Clinic Rochester
  • Patients must have the ability to consent or have an appropriate representative available to do so.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior valve intervention,
  • Concomitant valve surgery at the time of mitral annuloplasty (e.g. tricuspid annuloplasty, aortic valve replacement).
  • Concomitant >= moderate regurgitation or stenosis in any other valve by preoperative echocardiography
  • History of prior myocardial infarction
  • History of cardiomyopathy unrelated to mitral regurgitation (e.g. dilated, hypertrophic, infiltrative)
  • Pregnancy. Women of childbearing potential will be verbally screened by clinical staff during as part of routine pre-MRI evaluation. If a subject is unsure whether they could be pregnant, a negative pregnancy test will be performed prior to scanning.
  • Implantable devices that would be a contraindication to MRI
  • Severe allergy to gadolinium MRI contrast

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Chronic severe primary mitral regurgitation
Adults with chronic severe primary mitral regurgitation undergoing robotic mitral annuloplasty at Mayo Clinic Rochester
Diagnostic test: Cardiac MRI
Each subject will receive two cardiac MRI scans (with and without contrast), one preoperative and another 6-12 months after. The duration of each MRI is approximately 45-60 minutes
