Different features of LV papillary muscles were considered: supernumerary muscles, papillary thickness, the attachment, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). Dark-Paps was defined as end-systolic signal hypointensity of both papillary muscles in early post-contrast cine CMR images. Mitral valve prolapse, mitral annular disjunction (MAD), and myocardial LGE were considered.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Dark-Paps was found in 79 (20%) patients and was more frequent in females. It was associated with higher prevalence of mitral valve prolapse and MAD. During a median follow-up of 2534 days, 22 hard cardiac events occurred. At Kaplan-Meier curve analysis, patients with Dark-Paps were at higher risk of events than those without (<jats:italic>p\u00a0<\/jats:italic>&lt; 0.0001). Dark-Paps was significantly associated with hard cardiac events in all the multivariate models.
