Abstract
We have described a technique that uses real-time three-dimensional echocardiography to perform a comprehensive assessment of leaflet tethering on the entire mitral valve. Our methodology is not influenced by viewing plane selection, regional tenting asymmetry, or annular dilatation and therefore represents a potentially useful, clinically relevant, and consistent measure of subvalvular remodeling.
