The aim of this study was to assess mitral valve (MV) remodeling and strain in patients with secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) compared with primary MR (PMR) and normal valves.A paucity of data exists on MV strain during the cardiac cycle in humans. Real-time 3-dimensional (3D) echocardiography allows for dynamic MV imaging, enabling computerized modeling of MV function in normal and disease states.Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was performed in a total of 106 subjects: 36 with SMR, 38 with PMR, and 32 with normal valves; MR severity was at least moderate in both MR groups. Valve geometric parameters were quantitated and patient-specific 3D MV models generated in systole using a dedicated software. Global and regional peak systolic MV strain was computed using a proprietary software.MV annular area was larger in both the SMR and PMR groups (12.7 ± 0.7 and 13.3 ± 0.7 cmThe MV in secondary MR remodels significantly and similarly to PMR with a resultant larger annular area, leaflet surface area, and leaflet thickness compared with that of normal subjects. Despite these changes, MV strain remains close to or in some instances lower than normal and is significantly lower than that of PMR. Strain determination has the potential to improve characterization of MV mechano-biologic properties in humans and to evaluate its prognostic impact in patients with MR, with or without valve interventions. |
