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

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 ...

Mitral annular disjunction with atrial septal defect in children: An intriguing association [PDF]
Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is defined as a separation between the mitral annulus and the left ventricular myocardium and is most often seen in association with mitral valve prolapse (MVP).

Mitral Annular Disjunction in Heritable Thoracic Aortic Disease: Insights From the Montalcino Aortic Consortium [PDF]
Background Mitral annular disjunction (MAD), posterior displacement of the mitral valve leaflet hinge point, predisposes to arrhythmias or sudden cardiac death. We evaluated the burden of MAD, mitral valve prolapse (MVP), and mitral regurgitation (MR) by

True- and pseudo-mitral annular disjunction in patients undergoing cardiovascular magnetic resonance [PDF]
: Background: Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is a controversial entity. Recently, a distinction between pseudo-MAD, present in systole and secondary to juxtaposition of the billowing posterior leaflet on the left atrial wall, and true-MAD, where the ...

Mitral Annular Disjunction: A Roadmap for the Surgeon. [PDF]
Abstract Objectives Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is a structural abnormality of the mitral annulus fibrosus, associated with myxomatous leaflet degeneration, mitral valve prolapse (MVP), and ventricular arrhythmias. The combination of annular dilatation and abnormal annular motion increases
