Progressive left ventricular (LV) dilatation and irreversible myocardial damage are important causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic primary mitral regurgitation (MR) due to myxomatous mitral valve disease. We assessed the hypothesis that early subclinical LV dysfunction secondary to chronic primary MR could be signalled by abnormal LV rotation mechanics, utilizing velocity vector imaging (VVI).
