Changes in Mitral Annular Ascent with Worsening Echocardiographic Parameters of Left Ventricular Diastolic Function

Background. While the mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) has been suggested as a surrogate measurement of left ventricular ejection fraction, less is known about the relative value of mitral annular ascent (MAa). Methods. Our database was queried for complete transthoracic echocardiogra...
