Figure 4

Display of longitudinal MAD distance in posterolateral wall in patients with and without AoE, MVP and mitral regurgitation (A) and scatter plot graph of correlation between longitudinal MAD distance in posterolateral wall and systolic mitral annulus dilatation (B). Box plots represent longitudinal MAD distance in posterolateral wall in patients with Marfan and Loeys–Dietz syndromes with and without AoE (left plot), with and without MVP (middle plot), and with and without mitral regurgitation (right plot) (A). Blue line shows that longitudinal MAD distance in posterolateral wall was greater with larger systolic mitral annulus diameter (B). P-values are calculated by Mann–Whitney U test (A) and Pearson correlation (B), respectively. AoE, aortic events; MAD, mitral annulus disjunction; MR, mitral regurgitation; MVP, mitral valve prolapse.
