    AbstractThe quantitative assessment of mitral regurgitation (MR) by echocardiography has limitations. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has an emerging role in the quantitation of MR, and preliminary studies indicate that CMR assessment may more accurately quantify MR and better correlate with postsurgical left ventricular reverse remodeling. The authors here report a case of MR in which multimodality imaging with CMR and transesophageal echocardiography was crucial in accurately diagnosing the severity of MR when transthoracic and provocative supine bike echocardiography underestimated the degree of MR in a unique variant known as "garden-hose" MR.Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
