Abstract: F unction of the mitral valve (MV) requires a complex interplay among the annulus, leaflets, and subvalvular apparatus (1). Mitral annulus is a 3-dimensional saddle-shaped structure exhibiting dynamic conformational change during the cardiac cycle. Morphologically,… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Mitral annulus disjunction (MAD) is an abnormal atrial displacement of the mitral valve leaflet hinge point. MAD has been associated with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and sudden cardiac death. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this… read more here.
