  • Title: [Radiological diagrams of the various anatomical forms of mitral incompetency. Report on twenty-nine cases (author's transl)].
    Author: Pracros JP, Pinet F.
    Journal: Sem Hop; 1982 Jan 28; 58(4):225-9. PubMed ID: 6280290.
    Abstract:
    The authors compared the radiological findings in 29 cases with the operative or autopsy findings and discuss the criteria at present adopted during standard radiological examination and hemodynamic and angiographic exploration of mitral incompetency to determine the anatomical type. From the radiological findings, one may characterize acute mitral incompetency with a small heart and pulmonary vascular changes from chronic mitral incompetency, the diagnostic criteria of valvular prolapse, ruptures of the chordae tendineae and poor function of the papillary muscles. The authors give a synthesis of their results compared with those in the literature.
