Shape of the mitral annulus in normal individuals and dilated cardiomyopathies: computational modeling insights into leaflet stress distribution [PDF]
Introduction: The mitral valve annulus naturally adopts a saddle shape in systole, likely concentrating systolic stress on the commissures where fibrous trigones are located.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance in patients with mitral valve prolapse [PDF]
: With a prevalence of 2–3% in the general population, mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is the most common valvular heart disease. The clinical course is benign in the majority of patients, although severe mitral regurgitation, heart failure, and sudden ...

Sudden cardiac death unveiling a mitral annular disjunction in a young man: The role of multimodal cardiac imaging for diagnosis. [PDF]
Non-ischemic structural heart diseases, such as mitral annular disjunction (MAD) and/or mitral valve prolapse (MVP), are known to increase the risk of arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD).

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).

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 ...
