Insights into functional mitral regurgitation using transillumination rendering.

Echocardiography
Roberto H RamirezEdgar Argulian

Abstract

Secondary mitral regurgitation has been originally explained by tethering of the structurally normal mitral leaflets or by mitral annular dilation after atrial remodeling. Advances in echocardiography have provided more insights into functional anatomy of the mitral valve leaflets as active participants in this entity.
