Three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography showing mitral valve ring dehiscence in infective endocarditis

A three-dimensional view from atrium to ventricle shows mitral valve ring dehiscence. The mitral valve leaflets are seen in motion between the lower portion of the ring and the mitral annulus at the four to seven o'clock positions. The mitral valve leaflets do not coapt completely in systole, consistent with severe mitral regurgitation.
