Assessment of subvalvular apparatus in mitral stenosis. While both the papillary muscles and chordae have disease, it is more extensive on the AL papillary muscle side. (A and B) Modified tilted parasternal long axis views; (C) parasternal short axis view at the papillary muscle level; (D) modified apical 2 chamber view showing both papillary muscles. AL: Anterolateral; PM: Posteromedial; PM: papillary muscle.
