Japanese term or phrase: (僧帽弁の)前突
僧帽弁の前突
Front protrusion of the mitral valve? Front apex of the mitral valve? What does 前突 mean?

Here is the sentence:
心臓超音波検査にて僧帽弁の前突の動きに異常を認めますが増帽弁の逆流はない。
and my translation so far:
Echocardiography detected an abnormality in the motion of the 前突 of the mitral valve, but there was no mitral valve regurgitation.
