Reverse-MAD phenotype features apparent myocardial extension along the posterior mitral leaflet.
May identify a novel mitral annular variant on imaging; leaves open its clinical significance and relationship to standard MAD.
Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is characterised by displacement of the posterior mitral leaflet hinge point away from the basal left ventricular myocardium. Recent imaging studies have further di...
