  "abstract": "BackgroundMitral valve prolapse (MVP) causes mitral regurgitation (MR), leading to volume overload and maladaptive left ventricular (LV) remodelling.\n\nObjectiveTo comprehensively characterize markers of maladaptive LV remodelling across MR severity grades in MVP using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), and their association with functional status.\n\nMethodsPatients with MVP undergoing 1.5T CMR (2016-2025) were stratified by MR fraction: mild<20%, moderate 20-39%, and severe [≥]40%. Exclusion criteria were significant coronary artery disease, rheumatic valve disease, mitral stenosis, previous mitral valve procedures, endocarditis or signs of primary cardiomyopathy. Global native T1, T2, extracellular volume (ECV), indexed ECV (iECV), indexed intracellular volume (iICV), and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) were quantified. Indexed LV end-diastolic volume (EDVI) and the EDV-to-LV mass ratio (EDV/LVM-ratio) were also calculated as indices of LV remodelling and adaptive hypertrophy. Functional status was assessed by NYHA class.\n\nResultsAmong 112 MVP patients (23 mild, 48 moderate, 41 severe MR) and 20 controls, LGE prevalence (17% vs. 46% vs. 51% vs. 0%) and the proportion with LV dilatation (46% vs. 67% vs. 88% vs 15%) rose progressively with MR severity. Increased EDVI, prevalence of LGE, higher EDV/LVM-ratio, global native T1 and iECV showed the strongest associations with more severe MR, whereas EDV/LVM-ratio, iECV and global native T1 were independently related to NYHA class[≥]II.\n\nConclusionsCMR markers of maladaptive LV remodelling were abnormal across all MR grades and increased markedly with MR severity. Global native T1, iECV and EDV/LVM-ratio correlated most strongly with symptom burden, rather than MR severity per se.\n\nClinical Trial RegistrationNCT06255457\n\nO_FIG O_LINKSMALLFIG WIDTH=200 HEIGHT=145 SRC=\"FIGDIR/small/26364239v1_ufig1.gif\" ALT=\"Figure 1\"> View larger version (44K): org.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@1d7a082org.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@16acd4aorg.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@cbe322org.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@1ad080f_HPS_FORMAT_FIGEXP M_FIG C_FIG",
