Standard echocardiography: Routine ultrasound examination with standardized recordings for the study, incorporating volumetric assessment techniques

2D phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging: A cardiac MRI will be performed on a 1.5 Tesla system, including a biventricular function study with a series of short-axis slices, three long-axis slices, a 2D phase-contrast acquisition orthogonal to the aortic root. Additionally, standard T1 mapping sequences will be acquired on three short-axis slices, 15 minutes after the injection of 0.2 mmol/kg of body weight of gadolinium, for myocardial and blood T1 measurements.

4D flow magnetic resonance imaging: A sagittal 4D flow acquisition lasting between 6 and 10 minutes of free breathing to cover all four cardiac chambers is added to the 2D acquisition.

Cardiac ultrafast ultrasound imaging: Ultrafast sequences are added to the standard echocardiography acquisition.

Study summary

The goal of this study is to evaluate whether 4D MRI provides a better assessment of mitral regurgitation quantification and associated ventricular remodeling than standard imaging techniques: echocardiography and 2D MRI, in patients suffuring from mitral regurgitation. 4D MRI demonstrated its superiority to 2D MRI in some other valve diseases but remains not widely used, due to a lack of evidence. The main question our study aims to answer is:

• Is mitral regurgitant volume measured on 4D MRI more strongly related to remodeling progression (after correction of regurgitation or not) than regurgitant volume measured on 2D MRI and echocardiography?

Participants will undergo 4D MRI, 2D MRI and echocardiography twice at six-month intervals.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Absolute change in left ventricle end-diastolic volume — Baseline, 6 months
    The primary outcome criterion will be the analysis of the association between the absolute change in LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) between baseline (M0) and 6 months after (M6) and mitral regurgitant volume at M0, as calculated by the different methods or MR severity estimated using the integrative TTE approach, adjusted for residual MR.
