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

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.

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

Reversed Remodeling Unveils Mitral Annular Disjunction. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is a structural abnormality increasingly recognized in association with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and cardiomyopathy. Its clinical significance in nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) is less understood. CASE SUMMARY: A 60-year-old man with NICM presented with progressive dyspnea and atrial fibrillation ...

Arrhythmic risk in mitral valve prolapse with mitral annular disjunction: meta-analysis of longitudinal studies [PDF]
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is frequently associated with mitral annular disjunction (MAD). Although numerous studies and emerging consensus suggest an arrhythmogenic role for MAD, there is a lack of large-scale meta-analyses of longitudinal studies to ...
