Abstract
The subject of echocardiographic diagnosis of ruptured chordae tendinae, although barely known, is of considerable importance in offering a non-invasive diagnostic possibility since the clinical diagnosis of ruptured chordae tendinae is at times quite difficult. The present study has been designed to better define echocardiographic criteria for a positive diagnosis and to assess the method’s validity.
