Asymptomatic Severe MR due to MV prolapse The essential questions Is the patient really asymptomatic? Is MR really severe? Can valve repair be performed? What are the repercussions of MR on LV and LA? What are the repercussions of MR on PAP? Does the patient have AF? What are the patient s wishes Does the expected benefits of intervention (versus spontaneous outcome) outweigh its risks?

Mitral Regurgitation due to MV Prolapse - Asymptomatic severe MR - High probability of valve repair - EF> 60% and ESD < 40mm - LA Volume < 60ml/m² - PAP < 50mm Hg (at rest) - Sinus rhythm - Low operative risk
