Dynamic changes of the mitral annulus geometry parameters during the cardiac systole in patients with functional mitral regurgitation (in red) and in control subjects (in green). AP: anteroposterior; ALPM: anterolateral-posteromedial; MA: mitral annulus; MVC: mitral valve closure. āStatistically significant at every analyzed reference frame, .
