EARLY ACTIVATION OF GROWTH PATHWAYS IN MITRAL LEAFLETS EXPOSED TO AORTIC REGURGITATION: ACTIVE MECHANISM TO PREVENT FUNCTIONAL MITRAL REGURGITATION IN THE DILATED VENTRICLE

EARLY ACTIVATION OF GROWTH PATHWAYS IN MITRAL LEAFLETS EXPOSED TO AORTIC REGURGITATION: ACTIVE MECHANISM TO PREVENT FUNCTIONAL MITRAL REGURGITATION IN THE DILATED VENTRICLE

Background Mitral leaflet enlargement in patients with chronic aortic regurgitation (AR) has been recently identified as an adaptive mechanism to prevent functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) in dilated left ventricles (LV).
