Measurement of the mitral annulus disjunction (MAD) length.
Panel A schematically illustrates the spatial disjunction (red line) of the basal inferolateral left ventricular myocardium (green) and the left atrial wall-mitral leaflet junction (blue) assessed on a 3-chamber view. The mitral valve is shown in yellow. Panel B shows the MAD length measurement (red line) on the corresponding CT image.
Abbreviations: LA, left atrium; LV, left ventricle (For interpretation of the references to colour in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of this article.).
