Mitral annular disjunction distance is associated with adverse outcomes in children and young adults with connective tissue disorders. [PDF]
Introduction Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is a pathologic fibrous separation of the mitral valve hinge point from the ventricular myocardium. The aims of this study were to describe the range of MAD distance by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)

Does Preliminary Chest Shape Assessment Improve the Prognostic Risk Stratification of Individuals with Mitral Annular Disjunction? A Case Report and Narrative Review. [PDF]
Background: Mitral annular disjunction (MAD), a mitral annular abnormality involving the whole mitral valve annulus circumference, commonly detected in individuals with mitral valve prolapse (MVP), has been recently recognized as a potential risk factor ...

Myocardial extracellular volume by T1 mapping: a new marker of arrhythmia in mitral valve prolapse [PDF]
Objectives We aimed to evaluate the relationship between mitral annular disjunction (MAD) severity and myocardial interstitial fibrosis at the left ventricular (LV) base in patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP), and to assess the association between ...

Identification of patients with mitral annular disjunction and the highest risk of ventricular arrhythmias using advanced echocardiography tools [PDF]
Introduction Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is an abnormal atrial displacement of the mitral valve leaflet hinge point associated with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and ventricular arrhythmias. Our study's purpose was to check whether two-dimensional (2D)

The added value of three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography in mitral annular disjunction: a case report [PDF]
BackgroundMitral annular disjunction (MAD) refers to the arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse (MVP) syndrome associated with ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Although the pathophysiology of this disease is still under investigation, specific

Functional and morphological predictors of left ventricular fibrosis in patients with mitral annular disjunction in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging [PDF]
Background Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is characterised by a separation of the mitral valve hinge point and the left ventricular (LV) myocardium and significantly increases the risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.
