Dynamic 3-Dimensional Echocardiographic Assessment of Mitral Annular Geometry in Patients With Functional Mitral Regurgitation

There are significant differences in dynamic mitral annular geometry between patients with FMR and those without. We were able to analyze these changes in a clinically feasible fashion. Ready availability of this information has the potential to aid comprehensive quantification of mitral annular function and possibly assist in both clinical decision making and annuloplasty ring selection.
