PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Mitral regurgitation remains a common problem, and when severe, is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. At present, echocardiography remains the primary modality for assessing both mechanism and severity of mitral regurgitation. However, recent studies demonstrate that the echocardiographic assessment of mitral regurgitation severity may be subject to variability as a result of semiquantitative parameters, dependence upon loading conditions and significant interobserver variability.
RECENT FINDINGS: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is the gold standard in the assessment of cardiac function and structure, and offers an alternative method to estimate mitral regurgitation severity. Herein, we discuss the pitfalls of echocardiography in the assessment of mitral regurgitation and describe recent data demonstrating improved accuracy of CMR in the assessment of mitral regurgitation severity. Further, CMR derived regurgitant volume of ≤55 ml is associated with freedom from surgical intervention, in contrast to traditional volumetric measures, which fail to predict the need for surgical intervention.
SUMMARY: The CMR assessment of mitral regurgitation severity is easily performed and appears to be more accurate and predictive of the need for surgery than traditional echocardiography. These promising findings require further confirmation in larger outcome trials.
