Figure 5From: Late gadolinium enhanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance of lamin A/C gene mutation related dilated cardiomyopathyRelationship between mitral annular displacement (MAD) and Left ventricular ejection fraction (EF). Longitudinal LV systolic function measured using MAD showed correlation with decreased EF. Nine patients had decreased MAD (normal value 1.5-1.6 cm). Three lamin A/C DCM patients with normal EF had decreased MAD as an early marker of systolic dysfunction.Back to article page
