Aims: Mitral Annular Disjunction (MAD) refers to embryologic fibrous separation between mitral annular ring and basal left ventricular myocardium. Since its original description, the role of MAD in arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse (MVP) has been the subject of active research. In this study we sought to assess prognostic and imaging characteristics of MVP patients with and without underlying MAD.

Background: Cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) have historically restricted the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) due to the potential clinical and configurational risks associated with electromagnetic interference. In this study, the authors investigated the impact of MRI on the functional integrity of non-conditional CIEDs and their clinical correlates.
Methods: In this prospective, observational single-center study, we enrolled patients undergoing MRI over a 5-year period.
