Mitral valve function, geometry, and kinematics in each experimental group. A1–4 Mitral regurgitation severity measured using clinical guidelines for assessment of mitral valve function. B1–2 Septal-lateral and commissure-commissure diameters of the mitral annulus. C1–3 Coaptation length and tenting characteristics of the valve at peak systolic closure. D1–3 Anterior leaflet mobility assessed as systolic anterior angle, diastolic anterior angle, and the excursion angle. E1–3 Posterior leaflet mobility assessed as systolic anterior angle, diastolic anterior angle, and the excursion angle
