A 51-year-old woman was referred to the Cardiology outpatient clinic for a murmur. She was asympthomatic. Transthoracic echocardio-
gram showed a parachute mitral valve (Panels 1A–C and 2A), with anomalous and elongated chordae converging into a major papillary
muscle (posteromedial) with two heads (Panels 1B and 2B, see Supplementary material online, Videos S1–S3). Transmitral gradient was nor-
mal, and non-significant mitral regurgitation was detected. There was a rudimental anterolateral papillary muscle connected with anomalous
ventricular bands. The elongated subvalvular apparatus protruded into the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) generating dynamic LVOT
