Geometric predictor of significant mitral regurgitation in patients with severe ischemic cardiomyopathy, undergoing Dor procedure: A real-time 3D echocardiographic study

Abstract

Detecting significant posterior leaflet tethering, the most important predictor of significant MR, and measuring MV tenting area, the strongest determinant of MR severity, using RT3DE may be helpful in decision making of additive surgical intervention for MR in patients with severe ischemic cardiomyopathy.
