Comparison of LV end-diastolic (ED) geometric remodeling in controls and in surgical MR patients with pre-operative LVESD < and ≥ 37mm before and after surgery. These data demonstrate progressive LV remodeling at ED in the two MR groups and their recovery after surgery. LVED R/T ratio is normalized after surgery in both MR groups. Circumferential curvatures in MR LVESD<37mm are normalized after surgery while in MR LVESD≥37mm, circumferential curvatures are increased yet not normalized. *: P<0.05 vs. controls; †: P<0.05 vs. pre-operative MR.
