Geometric Indices for Predicting Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation: Correlation of Mitral Valve Coaptation Area With Tenting Height, Tenting Area and Tenting Volume

J Cardiothorac Vasc AnesthPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

As a representative of the complete topography of the MV, the authors' study demonstrated that in patients with CAD, TV has a greater negative correlation with coaptation area as compared to TH or TA.
