Mitral Annular Disjunction [PDF]
Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is a rare and under-recognized entity in the pediatric population. We present 2 cases of MAD in previously healthy pediatric patients and highlight clinical scenarios where MAD should be suspected.

Arrhythmogenic mitral valve prolapse and mitral annular disjunction: a literature review and case-based perspective [PDF]
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is among the most frequently diagnosed valvular heart diseases, with the majority of patients being asymptomatic. However, MVP may also present with ventricular arrhythmias (VA) or sudden cardiac death (SCD).

Mitral Annular Disjunction: Epidemiology, Diagnostic Methods, Prognosis, and Novel Implications [PDF]
Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is an increasingly recognized structural abnormality of the mitral valve apparatus, often associated with mitral valve prolapse and a heightened risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. It is defined by a

Prevalence, Characteristics, and Arrhythmogenic Substrate of Mitral Annular Disjunction Assessed by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients With Apparently Idiopathic Ventricular Arrhythmia [PDF]
Background Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is linked to an increased risk of sudden cardiac death, but its association with ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) in Japanese patients is unclear. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 129 Japanese patients with VAs

Port-Access Robotic Repair of Barlow Mitral Annular Disjunction and Severe Mitral Valve Regurgitation [PDF]
Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is associated with malignant ventricular arrhythmias and progressive mitral regurgitation. We describe a 35-year-old man with a history of sudden cardiac death who presented with palpitations and recurrent ventricular ...

Association of Cardiovascular Events Between Mitral Annular Disjunction and Left Atrial Reservoir Strain in Barlow's Disease. [PDF]
The present study suggested that MAD and low LARS are associated with an increased risk of arrhythmia and cardiac events in patients with BD. LARS, left atrial reservoir strain; MAD, mitral annular disjunction. ABSTRACT Aims Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) has been suggested to be associated with malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac ...
