Mitral annular disjunction in patients with primary severe mitral regurgitation and mitral valve prolapse

Abstract

Mitral annular disjunction was detected in 24% of patients with severe MR and in 90% of the patients with Barlow's syndrome. There were significant differences at its sites of prolapse in FED patients. The presence and site of prolapse with mitral annular disjunction should be actively determined in FED patients.
