Posterior mitral leaflet (PML) chordal rupture is a rare complication in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). It can cause severe mitral regurgitation (MR) that requires surgery.
Symptoms of a PML chordal rupture include: Increasing symptoms, Auscultation change, and Disappearance of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction.
A transthoracic echocardiogram is the best initial study to identify a PML chordal rupture in an unstable patient.
Treatment for mitral valve prolapse depends on several factors, including: Severity of regurgitation, Other heart issues, and Treatment timing.
Treatment options include: Mitral valve repair, Mitral valve replacement, and Minimally invasive procedures.
