Late Gadolinium Enhancement of Left Ventricular Papillary Muscles in Patients with Mitral Regurgitation

Abstract

LGE of the papillary muscles was present not only in patients with MVP, but also in patients with other etiologies of mitral regurgitation, and it was associated with high systolic BP and ventricular arrhythmia. Papillary muscle enhancement on CMR should not be overlooked.
