This valve is attached to the heart in two separate locations—one to the mitral annulus and the other, through the chords, to the papillary muscle apparatus—and both move with ventricular ...

It is for use in the mitral or tricuspid position. Integral template provides a measured plication of the annulus for predictable, reproducible results. “C” shape of the flexible band allows ...

as well as reduced early diastolic mitral annular velocity using tissue Doppler imaging. In late stages with LV failure associated with elevations in left atrial pressure, a so-called restrictive ...
