Active Adaptation of the Tethered Mitral Valve: Insights into a Compensatory Mechanism for Functional Mitral Regurgitation

BACKGROUND: In patients with left ventricular infarction or dilatation, leaflet tethering by displaced papillary muscles (PMs) frequently induces mitral regurgitation (MR), which doubles mortality. Little is known about mitral valve (MV) biological potential to compensate for ventricular remodeling....
