Association of Cardiovascular Events Between Mitral Annular Disjunction and Left Atrial Reservoir Strain in Barlow's Disease. [PDF]
The present study suggested that MAD and low LARS are associated with an increased risk of arrhythmia and cardiac events in patients with BD. LARS, left atrial reservoir strain; MAD, mitral annular disjunction. ABSTRACT Aims Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) has been suggested to be associated with malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac ...

Varied Extent of Mitral Annular Disjunction Among Cases With Different Phenotypes of Mitral Valve Prolapse. [PDF]
Detailed 3-dimensional analysis of mitral annular disjunction was undertaken in 3 comparative cases of mitral valve prolapse. A case of Barlow disease showed extensive disjunction, whereas cases of fibroelastic deficiency and forme fruste demonstrated ...

Mitral annular disjunction: Beyond mitral valve prolapse
Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is an easily identifiable entity on transthoracic echocardiography, but is still poorly recognized or ignored. It is often associated with mitral valve prolapse and is itself a risk marker for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, but the management and risk stratification of these patients is not ...

Prevalence, Characteristics, and Arrhythmogenic Substrate of Mitral Annular Disjunction Assessed by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients With Apparently Idiopathic Ventricular Arrhythmia. [PDF]
Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) was diagnosed by MRI in 14% of patients with ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) originating from the mitral valve apparatus and was significantly associated with multifocal VAs, papillary muscle late gadolinium enhancement, and mitral regurgitation.

The impact of mitral valve surgery on ventricular arrhythmias in patients with Barlow's disease: Preliminary results of a prospective study [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Aim of this study was to evaluate arrhythmic burden of patients with Barlow's disease and significant mitral regurgitation (MR) and assess the impact of mitral repair on ventricular arrhythmias (VA) in this group of subjects.METHODS: We ...

Arrhythmogenic Mitral Valve Prolapse and Sudden Cardiac Death: an Update and Current Perspectives [PDF]
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) affects about 2-3% of the general population, mostly women, and is the most common cause of primary chronic mitral regurgitation (MR) in western countries.

Cardiac Imaging for Risk Assessment of Malignant Ventricular Arrhythmias in Patients With Mitral Valve Prolapse [PDF]
Recent studies have described the occurrence of complex ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death among patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP). The reported incidence rate of sudden cardiac death or ventricular tachycardia is about 1-1.5% among

Mitral valve and left ventricular features in malignant mitral valve prolapse. [PDF]
Objective: Mitral valve prolapse is a benign condition, however with occasional reports of sudden cardiac death or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the absence of severe mitral regurgitation or coronary artery disease, suggesting the existence of a ...

Mitral Annular Disjunction: Associated Pathologies and Clinical Consequences
To provide an overview of mitral annular disjunction (MAD) and to discuss important challenges in diagnosis and management of MAD.MAD has regained interest in the context of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP), coined as the "arrhythmic" MVP syndrome.
