Effects of chordal disruption on regional left ventricular torsional deformation.
Circulation. 1996; (9 Suppl): II143-51
Chordal excision during mitral valve replacement (MVR) impairs left ventricular (LV) systolic function, but the mechanisms responsible for this change remain unclear. This study was performed to determine the influence of annular papillary continuity on regional LV torsional deformation acutely following MVR with and without chordal preservation.
