Mitral annulus strain by 3D echo reveals regional annular dysfunction in Barlow's disease

Abstract: Background Barlow's disease (BD) provides both diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Annular dilation is typically seen in BD, however, data on regional deformation is lacking. Purpose We hypothesized that mitral annulus dilates non-homogenously during ventricular systole in BD. A method to calculate annular regional strain was developed and applied in a subset of BD patients and healthy controls. … Show more
