Eur J Echocardiogr. 2010 Mar;11(2):189. doi: 10.1093/ejechocard/jep176. Epub 2009 Dec 14.

Abstract

A 73-year-old female patient was referred for evaluation after suffering an atypical chest pain. Physical examination and ECG were normal. The echocardiogram showed a normal ventricular function. Attached to the anterior leaflet an accessory mitral valve tissue was identified. In systole, this mitral tissue creates an image that looks like the 'number 2'.
