MAD of limited severity was common in consecutive patients undergoing CMR. Patients with MVP showed higher prevalence and greater extent of MAD. Extended MAD was rarer and showed association with ventricular arrhythmias at baseline. The mid-term prognosis of MAD seems benign; however, prospective studies are warranted to search for potential "malignant MAD extents" to improve patients' risk stratification.
