TLDR
Fifty normal mitral valves from adults were studied and partitioning the mitral valvular tissue into anterior and posterior leaflets found that rough and clear zones can be defined on the anterior leaflet and rough, clear, and basal zones on the posterior leaflet.Abstract:
Fifty normal mitral valves from adults were studied. Commissures, identified by commissural chordae tendineae and the tips of papillary muscles, partition the mitral valvular tissue into anterior and posterior leaflets. This definition incorporates into the posterior leaflet the structures formerly regarded as accessory leaflets. The posterior leaflet is further divided into scallops by clefts in its tissue. Cleft chordae provide a guide to these interscallop indentations or clefts. Partitioned this way, the posterior leaflet was tri-scalloped in 46 hearts. In 42, a large middle scallop was present with two smaller scallops on either side. Rough and clear zones can be defined on the anterior leaflet and rough, clear, and basal zones on the posterior leaflet.read more

TL;DR: The extent of hypertrophy is believed to be the principal determinant of the impaired left ventricular relaxation and increased chambers stiffness that characterize diastole in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

TL;DR: The outcomes of CAD surgical treatment were improved in this group of patients due to the implementation of a mul-assisted revascularization of coronary and non-coronary arteries.

TL;DR: This classification permits a clear definition of mitral valve anatomy and forms a sound basis for functional studies of chordae tendineae.

TL;DR: This communication describes a new surgical procedure of enlarging the narrow aortic valve ring by extending theAortic incision through the fibrous origin of the aorti leaflet of the mitral valve into this leaflet, which permits the replacement of the anulus by a suitable prosthesis.

Diversity of structural mitral valve alterations in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
TL;DR: These findings expand the morphological definition of HCM by demonstrating that the disease process is not confined to cardiac muscle but rather many patients also have structural abnormalities of the mitral valve that are unlikely to be acquired or secondary to mechanical factors.

TL;DR: Correlations of the cine-angiograms with phonocardiograms have provided a functional anatomical basis for the late onset of the murmur as well as the systolic click which was present in 3 of the patients.
