What is Resolving the Disproportionate Left Ventricular Enlargement in Mitral Valve Prolapse Due to Barlow Disease: Insights From Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance about?
## Objectives: This study hypothesized that left ventricular (lv) enlargement in barlow disease can be explained by accounting for the total volume load that consists of transvalvular mitral regurgitation (mr) and the prolapse volume. ## Background: Barlow disease is characterized by long prolapsing mitral leaflets that can harbor a significant amount of blood-the prolapse volume-at end-systole. the lv in barlow disease can be disproportionately enlarged relative to mr severity, leading to speculation of barlow cardiomyopathy. ## Methods: Cardiac magnetic resonance (cmr) was used to compare mr, prolapse volume, and heart chambers remodeling in patients with barlow disease (bileaflet prolapse [blp]) and in single leaflet prolapse (slp). ## Results: A total of 157 patients (81 with blp, 76 with slp) were included. patients with slp were older and more had hypertension. patients with blp had more heart failure. indexed lv end-diastolic volume was larger in blp despite similar transvalvular mr. however, the prolapse volume was larger in blp, which led to larger total volume load compared with slp. increasing tertiles of prolapse volume and mr both led to an incremental increase in lv e
