Increases in mitral leaflet radii of curvature with chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation.
J Heart Valve Dis. 2004; (5): 772-8
Leaflet curvature is a primary determinant of leaflet stress, but no quantitative in-vivo leaflet curvature data exist. Chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation (CIMR) is associated with remodeling of the valvular-ventricular complex. It was hypothesized that leaflet radii of curvature (ROC) would change with such remodeling.
