STretch and Myocardial Characterization in Arrythmogenic Mitral Valve Prolapse-2
Sponsor: Central Hospital, Nancy, France
Summary
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a frequent affection of the mitral valve with a prevalence of 2-3% in the general population. This valvular disease is generally considered as benign, but may at term evolve toward mitral valve regurgitation of various severity and/or arrhythmia. Mitral valve prolapse is routinely diagnosed using transthoracic echocardiography. Subsequent examinations (24-hour external loop recording, exercise electrocardiogram, cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and a close follow-up can be proposed to the patient depending on its condition. More recently, detection of myocardial fibrosis and a mitral ring disjunction among patients with MVP were associated with the occurrence of severe ventricular arrhythmia. The investigators hypothesize that ventricular remodeling over time is mediated by the progression of mitral insufficiency severity from myocardial fibrosis secondary to MVP and possibly promoted by other mitral valve abnormalities. This remodeling, characterized by circulating biomarkers and imaging (MRI and echocardiography), could allow the identification of patients with a higher risk of severe ventricular arrhythmia. The main objective of this study is to identify prognostic factors for unfavorable evolution (ventricular remodeling or a rhythm disorder event) at 3 years from initial assessments in MVP patients.
