Mitral annular hinge motion contribution to changes in mitral septal-lateral dimension and annular area.
J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2009; (5): 1090-9
The mitral annulus is a dynamic, saddle-shaped structure consisting of fibrous and muscular regions. Normal physiologic mechanisms of annular motion are incompletely understood, and more complete characterization is needed to provide rational basis for annuloplasty ring design and to enhance clinical outcomes.
