ABSTRACT
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is associated with morphological and functional alterations of left atrium (LA) and ventricle (LV), possibly inducing LA-LV misalignment. We aimed to (1) characterize angulation between LA and mitral annulus from conventional cine MRI data and feature-tracking (FT) contours, (2) assess their associations with functional capacity in MR patients, as assessed by oxygen consumption (peak-VO2) and minute ventilation to carbon dioxide production (VE/VCO2) slope, in comparison with MRI LA/LV strain indices. Thirty-two asymptomatic primary MR patients (56 [40; 66] years, 12 women) underwent cardiac MRI resulting in LA/LV conventional FT-derived strain indices. Then, end-diastolic angles were derived from FT LA contours (1) α, centered on the LA centre of mass and defined by mitral valve extremities, (2) γ, centered on the mitral ring anterior/lateral side, and defined by LA centre and the other extremity of the mitral ring. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing with simultaneous echocardiography were also performed; peak-VO2 and VE/VCO2 slope were measured. While peak-VO2 and VE/VCO2 slope were not correlated to LA/LV strains, they were significantly associated with angles (α r = 0.50, p = 0.003 and r = - 0.52, p = 0.003; γ r = - 0.53, p = 0.002 and r = 0.52, p = 0.003; respectively), independently of age and gender (R2 ≥ 0.29, p ≤ 0.03). In primary MR, the new LA/mitral annulus angles, computed directly from standard-of-care MRI, are better correlated to exercise tolerance than conventional LA/LV strain.
