Loss of three-dimensional canine mitral annular systolic contraction with reduced left ventricular volumes.
Circulation. 1996; (9 Suppl): II152-8
We have recently described an inhomogeneous pattern of systolic contraction of the mitral annulus (MA) in normovolemic dogs: the posterior annulus shortens, and the anterior annulus lengthens. MA dynamics, however, have not been studied in volume-depleted hearts.
