mitraldisopyramidebeta-blockersElongated anterior mitral valve leaflet (EAMVL) has not been reported to cause left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) in the absence of left ventricular hypertrophy. We report the case of an elderly male patient who presented with acute heart failure and ...
Diminutive posterior mitral valve leaflet with an extremely elongated anterior leaflet is a rare phenomenon. We share such a case discovered in an 82-year-old patient with severe, symptomatic mitral regurgitation. LA, left atrium; LV, left ventricle; MR, mitral regurgitation.image...

RESULTS In patients with a BAV, the anterior mitral leaflet (AML) was significantly elongated in comparison with patients with a TAV and Normal subjects (33.2 ± 6.6 vs 27.7 ± 3.2 vs 27.0 ± 1.9 mm; P 32 mm in patients undergoing aortic root/valve procedures were highly predictive of the...
