The effect of pure mitral regurgitation on mitral annular geometry and three-dimensional saddle shape.
J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2008; (3): 557-65
Chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation is associated with mitral annular dilatation in the septal-lateral dimension and flattening of the annular 3-dimensional saddle shape. To examine whether these perturbations are caused by the ischemic insult, mitral regurgitation, or both, we investigated the effects of pure mitral regurgitation (low pressure volume overload) on annular geometry and shape.
