May support valve repair in spontaneous chordal rupture; leaves open causal role of localized strain in Level 5 data.
Ultrastructural findings suggest spontaneous mitral chordal rupture is due to localized mechanical strain rather than diffuse connective tissue disease, providing theoretical support for valve reconstruction over replacement.
Scott‐Jupp et al. (1981) studied this question.
