Mitral valve disease—morphology and mechanisms
Mitral valve disease is a frequent cause of heart failure and death. Emerging evidence
indicates that the mitral valve is not a passive structure, but—even in adult life—remains …

Effect of annular shape on leaflet curvature in reducing mitral leaflet stress
IS Salgo, JH Gorman III, RC Gorman, BM Jackson… - Circulation, 2002 - Am Heart Assoc
