## TL;DR

This paper explores how mitral arcade malformations interact with heart conditions and emphasizes the importance of advanced imaging for diagnosis.

## Contribution

The paper highlights the hemodynamic complexity of mitral arcade and its associations with various heart conditions.

## Key findings

- Mitral arcade malformations can lead to early heart failure.
- Mitral arcade is often linked to subvalvar aortic stenosis, bicuspid aortic valve, or aortic coarctation.
- Multimodal imaging is crucial for assessing mitral arcade.

## Abstract

•MA is a malformation of valve tensor apparatus leading to early heart failure.•MA can be associated with subvalvar aortic stenosis, bicuspid AV, or aortic coarctation.•Multimodal imaging is invaluable in assessing mitral arcade.

MA is a malformation of valve tensor apparatus leading to early heart failure.

MA can be associated with subvalvar aortic stenosis, bicuspid AV, or aortic coarctation.

Multimodal imaging is invaluable in assessing mitral arcade.
