Key result
Echocardiography identifies rare hammock mitral valve causing severe regurgitation from anomalous papillary muscle attachment.
Why the study?
Congenital mitral valve regurgitation in adults, specifically hammock or arcade mitral valve morphology, requires detailed imaging evaluation to assess clinical implications such as pregnancy risk.
Case Report (n=1)
Echocardiography effectively delineates the complex subvalvular anatomy of a rare congenital hammock/arcade mitral valve causing severe regurgitation in an adult.
Echocardiography identifies rare hammock mitral valve in adult severe regurgitation; extends sparse case literature without changing practice.

Munin et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Congenital Mitral Valve Regurgitation (n=1). Echocardiography was evaluated. Echocardiography in a 28-year-old woman revealed a hammock/arcade mitral valve causing severe regurgitation due to direct papillary muscle attachment and a fibrous bridge.
