The PRIMARY Ancillary Substudy is part of a larger trial comparing two ways to fix a heart problem called mitral valve prolapse (MVP). MVP can cause mitral regurgitation (MR), where the heart's mitral valve doesn't close tightly, allowing blood to flow backward. This study looks at how these treatments affect the heart's structure and function using various tests like cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE). It aims to see if better treatment can help prevent heart failure and irregular heartbeats called arrhythmias.
Key Points:
- Enrollment is expected to take 12-18 months with participation across several countries.
- Participants will have rhythm monitoring and some will have pre/post CMR tests.
- Risks include potential allergic reactions and issues with MRI for some devices.
To join, you must already be enrolled in the main PRIMARY trial. People with severe claustrophobia or certain allergies might be excluded. This study helps us understand how to make heart treatments better and safer!
