3D Echocardiography and Cardiovascular Prognosis in Mitral Regurgitation

3D Echocardiography and Cardiovascular PRognosis In Mitral REgurgitation (3D-PRIME)

The 3D-PRIME study will analyse whether use of 3D echocardiography can improve risk stratification and cardiovascular outcome in patients with mitral regurgitation of different etiologies.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adult patients with primary or secondary mitral regurgitation (MR)
• MR of moderate or severe degree
• 3D echocardiographic examinations of >= good spatial and temporal resolution

Exclusion Criteria:

• Co-existence of another valve disease of severe degree
• Inability to give informed consent
