Early systolic mitral leaflet "loitering" during acute ischemic mitral regurgitation.
J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 1998; (2): 193-205
The mechanism by which incomplete mitral leaflet coaptation develops during ischemic mitral regurgitation is debated, with recent studies suggesting that incomplete mitral leaflet coaptation may be due to apically displaced papillary muscle tips. Yet quantitative in vivo three-dimensional mitral leaflet motion during ischemic mitral regurgitation has never been described.
