Abstract
Left ventricular contractility and forward cardiac output remained unchanged after percutaneous MV repair despite decreases in total ejection fraction and global longitudinal strain. The left ventricle was unloaded through reduced end-diastolic volume. Thus, MV repair is associated with an improved hemodynamic state in noninvasive pressure-volume analysis.
