Notes

  1. 1.

    Subvalvular apparatus is an integral part of the heart mitral valve structural complex that includes the left ventricular free wall, two papillary muscles, and chordae tendinae. Preservation of the subvalvular apparatus maintains function of the cardiac left ventricular and thus improves survival.

  2. 2.

    Mendelian disorder caused by a single mutation in the DNA, which causes a single basic defect with pathologic consequences.
