Cross-sectional echocardiographic spectrum of papillary muscle dysfunction

Mitral valve prolapse in short-term experimental coronary occlusion: a possible mechanism of ischemic mitral regurgitation.

“…A total of 37 coronary occlusions at different sites were carried out in the remaining 11 dogs. Arterial occlusion sites were as follows: distal left anterior descending (n = 9), proximal left anterior descending (n = 11), distal left circumflex (n = 9), and proximal left circumflex (n = 8).…”

Accuracy of two‐dimensional echocardiography in detecting left ventricular aneurysm

“…Mitral valve prolapse appears to be an uncommon cause of regurgitation in coronary artery disease with or without LVA, and if they appear in concert, it is a coincidence of two frequent disorders (Godley el al., 1981). Two laboratories have described incomplete coaptation of the mitral leaflets due to inferior traction of a papillary muscle during apical dyskinesis (Godley et al, 1981;Ogawa et al, 1979). These findings need further verification, but are mentioned as possibly useful clues, revealed only with an ultrasound probe.…”

Functional mitral regurgitation in aortic valve disease patients: state of the art

“…Тяжелая органиче-ская МН обычно характеризуется площадью ERO более 0,4 см 2 и RV более 60 мл/сокращение. Эти критические значения значительно ниже для пациентов с функцио-нальной МН (площадь ERO более 0,2 см 2 и RV более 30 мл/сокращение соответственно) [56,63].…”
