Our data indicate that MVR, with or without chordal preservation, for pure severe MR in symptomatic younger rheumatic patients with a good preoperative ejection fraction results in normalization of LV size and performance by 1 year. Normalization of LV performance was only achieved at 1 year after surgery, and it is therefore essential to extend the assessment of LV function to at least 1 year postoperatively.
