Abstract:Background: Mitral annular disjunction (MAD), defined as defective attachment of the mitral annulus to the ventricular myocardium, has recently been linked to malignant arrhythmias. However, its role and prognostic significance in patients requiring cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) remains unknown. This retrospective analysis aimed to describe prevalence and significance of MAD by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. Methods: Eighty-six patients with … Show more
