Real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) has been used to quantify mitral valve (MV) annular size and leaflet tenting parameters in small numbers of patients with different pathologies. We sought to establish normal values for RT3DE mitral annular, tenting, and papillary muscle parameters over a wide age range and to study their age and body surface area (BSA) dependency.
