Why the study?
Anomalous papillary muscle insertion directly into the mitral valve leaflet is rare and its hemodynamic consequences in non-hypertrophic cardiomyopathy subjects are not well described.
Case Report (n=1)
Anomalous papillary muscle insertion directly into the surface of the mitral valve leaflet is rare, especially in a subject without apparent evidence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We present a case of this isolated congenital malformation producing two hemodynamic sequelae of dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and severe mitral regurgitation.

Korabathina et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Anomalous papillary muscle insertion without hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (n=1). Surgical excision of anomalous papillary muscle and mitral valve replacement was evaluated on Relief of dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and symptoms.
