Popis: BACKGROUND Secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) is common in patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB) undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). We aimed to define CRT effects on left ventricular (LV) and mitral valve (MV) geometry, and their correlation with MR severity. METHODS Forty-one patients with LBBB and ≥mild secondary MR underwent CRT between 2009 and 2012, and had baseline and follow-up echocardiograms available. Repeated measure and linear regression analyses were performed to assess for changes in MV and LV geometry and MR severity, and associations with follow-up MR grade. RESULTS The mean age and baseline QRS duration were 65.5 ± 14.9 years and 160 ± 24 ms. At a mean follow-up of 2.6 ± 1.8 years, there was an increase in LV ejection fraction and reductions in LV end-systolic volume index, MR grade, and end-systolic interpapillary muscle distance (P
