About this trial

Study objectives:

* To assess the impact of mitral valve surgery for mitral regurgitation on ventricular arrhythmic burden and surrogate markers of fibrosis in patients with arrhytmogenic mitral valve prolapse (MVP) from baseline to 6 months after surgery * To characterize the molecular landscape of arrhytmogenic MVP

Study design:

-Prospective explorative observational study

Study population:

-90 patients with arrhytmogenic MVP and without arrhytmogenic MVP (controls) eligible for mitral valve surgery for mitral regurgitation will be enrolled. All patients will be evaluated with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and continuous seven day arrhythmic monitoring before and at 6 months after mitral valve surgery

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age 18 and over

Patients with and without (controls) arrhythmogenic MVP in need of mitral valve surgery for primary mitral regurgitation according to current standard of care

Disqualifiers

Secondary mitral regurgitation

Primary mitral regurgitation not due to degenerative disease (including rheumatic disease)

Co-existing moderate or severe aortic valve disease

Congenital heart disease

Trial population

Patients with and without arrhythmogenic MVP with primary mitral regurgitation eligible for mitral valve surgery according to current standard of care.
