Functional mitral stenosis after surgical annuloplasty for ischemic mitral regurgitation: Importance of subvalvular tethering in the mechanism and dynamic deterioration during exertion

OBJECTIVE: Diastolic subvalvular mitral leaflet tethering by left ventricular remodeling that restricts leaflet opening in the presence of annular size reduction by surgery for ischemic mitral regurgitation potentially causes functional mitral stenosis in the absence of organic leaflet lesions. Exer...
