This valve is attached to the heart in two separate locations—one to the mitral annulus and the other, through the chords, to the papillary muscle apparatus—and both move with ventricular ...

known as primary MR (or “organic” MR), or due to dilation of the mitral valve annulus associated with impaired left ventricular function, known as secondary MR (or “functional” MR).

the mitral annulus, 2) the mitral valve leaflets, 3) the commissures, 4) chordae tendineae and 5) papillary muscles. The typical normal adult mitral valve area is between 4 and 5 cm 2.

Additionally, the anteroposterior mitral annular diameter decreased from an average of 42.0 mm at baseline to only 37.8 mm at 6-month follow-up—representing a relatively small 10% diameter ...
