Poster Abstract
While Chordae tendineae rupture(CTR) is often caused due to mitral valve prolapse, rheumatic heart disease or infective endocarditis, CTR secondary to a combination of the factors is not often seen. We present a unique case of CTR due to subclinical infective endocarditis(IE) with underlying mitral valve prolapse(MVP).
