Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1) Patients with a diagnosis of primary mitral regurgitation 2) Patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 50% or greater on echocardiography at the time of enrollment. 3) Patients who are able to give written consent to participate in the study of their own free will. 4) Patients who are at least 20 years old and less than 85 years old at the time of consent.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1) Patients with heart failure symptoms such as symptoms of exertional dyspnea due to primary mitral regurgitation 2) Patients with left ventricular enlargement 3) Patients with atrial fibrillation 4) Patients who are unable to perform exercise stress echocardiography due to orthopedic or other diseases 5) Patients undergoing emergency surgery for mitral regurgitation such as acute rupture of tendon cords 6) Patients with a diagnosis of moderate or severe aortic stenosis by echocardiography 7) Patients with moderate or severe aortic regurgitation diagnosed by either echocardiography, cardiac MRI or cardiac catheterization. 7) Patients diagnosed with moderate or severe aortic regurgitation by either echocardiography or cardiac MRI or cardiac catheterization 8) Patients who are participating or planning to participate in an interventional trial at the time consent is obtained 9) Other patients deemed inappropriate as research subjects by the principal investigator.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
