Preserved anterior chordae tendineae is a possible risk factor for disturbing delivery of a transcatheter heart valve. Inserting a sheath just below the aortic valve for delivery of the transcatheter heart valve might be proposed as an alternative to avoid the chordae tendineae.

Purpose: Many approaches have been used to model chordae tendineae geometries in finite element simulations of atrioventricular heart valves. Unfortunately, current "functional" chordae tendineae geometries lack fidelity (e.g.

There is an increasing understanding that some mitral valve pathologies have developmental origins. The time course of valvulogenesis varies by animal model; in cattle, the branched chordae tendineae architecture becomes fully developed at full term. The mechanism by which chordae tendineae bifurcate during fetal development remains unknown.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging in mitral valve disease.

Article Synopsis
  • - This paper discusses how cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is used to evaluate patients with mitral valve disease, specifically focusing on mitral regurgitation (MR), a common heart valve issue that often has no symptoms but can lead to serious complications.
  • - CMR is particularly recommended when traditional ultrasound imaging doesn't provide clear information, as it offers detailed insights into the mitral valve structure and function, including aspects like leaflet shape and how MR affects heart remodeling.
  • - The review also aims to present both current and innovative CMR techniques for assessing mitral valve disease, including flow and myocardial evaluations, and suggests a simplified flow chart for healthcare providers to follow when performing CMR assessments.
