[HSF] Redo Radical Mitral Valvuloplasty

[rwmfglycar at aol.com]

My own bias is that subaortic septal hypertrophy is a more important factor than the angle by itself
The septal bulge produces the increase in velocity that can drag the anterior leaflet towards it. 
If ever you have to spend the night at  the Johannesburg Oliver Tambo airport, stay at the Sun Hotel and have your dinner in Bernouilli's restaurant. The walls are decorated by great black and white photo's of propellers and wings and clouds interspersed with blown up facsimiles of fluid dynamic mathematical formulae,

Prasanna,
 Not off hand. It's similar to what some U.S. judge said when  what should 
e considered obscene.  "I know it when I see it."  A  narrow mitral-aortic 
ngle leaves little room in the LVOT to accommodate the  anterior leaflet.
