[Noninvasive diagnosis of mitral insufficiency due to chordal rupture]
Abstract:
The paper describes the main signs of the rupture of chordae tendineae as a cause of mitral incompetence. The main place is given to the echocardiographic signs of this syndrome. The rupture of chordae tendineae is characterized by a certain combination of symptoms including the etiological factors of rupture, the clinical picture of cardiac insufficiency, a tendency to atrial fibrillation, auscultative picture of papillochordal insufficiency and the typical echocardiographic signs of this condition.
