Is mitral annular ascent useful in studying left ventricular function through left atrio-ventricular interactions?
Background: The mitral annulus (MA) is a crucial structure that is in constant motion throughout the cardiac cycle. The main purpose of this study was to determine if M-mode evaluation of the longitudinal motion of the MA could be useful to examine atrio-ventricular interactions. Methods: Echocardio...
