Zusammenfassung
Zielsetzung: Mitral annular dimensions assessed by CT constitute essential information for planning of transcatheter mitral valve implantation. Normative data is limited, and the influence of gender, body-surface area (BSA) and cardiac chamber dimensions is unknown. We sought to establish normative data on mitral annular dimensions by CT and to investigate their predictors. Material und Methodik: CT data sets of 136 patients (mean age 58.3 ± 11.2 years) without known mitral valve disease who had undergone retrospectively ECG-gated cardiac CT to rule out coronary artery disease were assessed for mitral annular di…
