Abstract

We would like to thank the authors for their letter and interest in our manuscript. We appreciate their valuable comments. The authors have raised the following important points: 1. The heterogenicity of our cohort with mitral valve surgery (MVS) 2. Elucidating the characteristics and causes of ventricular arrhythmias (VA) in patients with primary versus secondary mitral disease as well as in those with ischemic versus non-ischemic heart disease 3. The paucity of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a limitation of the study 4. The need for careful evaluation of patients prior to ablation since most arrhythmias did not originate from the perimitral area.
