Mitral Regurgitation. a Late post-gadolinium enhancement imaging in a patient with dyspnea demonstrates extensive infarct scar of the inferior and lateral walls (arrows). b Systolic frame from a three-chamber cine SSFP acquisition shows dephasing due to turbulent mitral regurgitation flow back into the left atrium. c In-plane velocity-encoded cine frame in systole also demonstrates the mitral regurgitation jet (arrow), but more clearly demonstrates its eccentric direction. The jet reaches back to the pulmonary vein ostia, consistent with severe insufficiency
