Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) has been proposed as a structural marker associated with arrhythmic risk, but its relationship with postoperative ventricular arrhythmias after mitral valve repair remains incompletely understood. We aimed to evaluate changes in ventricular arrhythmic burden following mitral valve repair and to investigate the association between preoperative MAD and postoperative ventricular ectopy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective observational study included 77 patients with MVP who underwent surgical mitral valve repair for severe MR and had both preoperative and postoperative 24-h Holter recordings. Premature ventricular complex (PVC) burden and ventricular arrhythmias were assessed before and after surgery. MAD was evaluated retrospectively using transthoracic echocardiography. Multivariable linear regression, sensitivity analyses, and sequential model comparison were performed to evaluate the independent and incremental association of MAD with postoperative PVC burden.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Overall PVC burden decreased significantly after mitral valve repair. Patients with preoperative MAD had a substantially higher PVC burden both before surgery [7,800 (7,000\u20139,575) vs. 4,200 (3,200\u20136,200)\u2005PVCs\/24\u2005h,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001] and after surgery [5,700 (5,175\u20136,425) vs. 2,200 (1,800\u20133,500)\u2005PVCs\/24\u2005h,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001] than those without MAD. The relative reduction in PVC burden was comparable between groups (\u221235.4\u2009\u00b1\u200920.6% vs. \u221239.5\u2009\u00b1\u200929.5%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.113). In multivariable analysis, preoperative MAD remained independently associated with higher postoperative PVC burden after adjustment for clinical covariates, prolapse phenotype, residual mitral regurgitation, and baseline PVC burden.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Mitral valve repair was associated with a significant reduction in ventricular ectopic burden in patients with MVP. However, preoperative MAD identified patients with a higher postoperative ventricular ectopic burden despite a similar proportional reduction in PVCs. These findings support the potential value of postoperative rhythm surveillance in patients with preoperative MAD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcvm.2026.1889270","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,7]],"date-time":"2026-10-07T05:51:13Z","timestamp":1791352273000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Ventricular arrhythmic burden before and after mitral valve repair in mitral valve prolapse: the role of mitral annular disjunction"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"\u00dcmeyir","family":"Savur","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Istanbul Medipol University, Medipol Mega University Hospital","place":["Istanbul, T\u00fcrkiye"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Berhan","family":"Keskin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Istanbul Medipol University, Medipol Mega University Hospital","place":["Istanbul, T\u00fcrkiye"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aysel","family":"Akhundova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Istanbul Medipol University, Medipol Mega University Hospital","place":["Istanbul, T\u00fcrkiye"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aykun","family":"Hakgor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Istanbul Medipol University, Medipol Mega University Hospital","place":["Istanbul, T\u00fcrkiye"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bilal","family":"Boztosun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Istanbul Medipol University, Medipol Mega University Hospital","place":["Istanbul, T\u00fcrkiye"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2158","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.113.006702","article-title":"Epidemiology and pathophysiology of mitral valve prolapse: new insights into disease progression, genetics, and molecular basis","volume":"129","author":"Delling","year":"2014","journal-title":"Circulation"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"323","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5223(19)39144-5","article-title":"Cardiac valve surgery\u2013the \u201cFrench correction\u201d","volume":"86","author":"Carpentier","year":"1983","journal-title":"J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1305","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM198511213132101","article-title":"Echocardiographically documented mitral-valve prolapse.
