Abstract
Inferolateral wall TPD is delayed in MVP. TPD is a novel method to characterize chordal-leaflet-myocardial interactions in patients with MVP. Prolapse severity does not predict TPD, likely because of the timing of prolapse and dynamic loading conditions. Implications of this observation include attribution of a perceived wall motion abnormality in MVP during stress echocardiography to a physiologic state and new mechanistic insights into mitral valve physiology.
