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 ...

Arrhythmic Mitral Valve Prolapse: Introducing an Era of Multimodality Imaging-Based Diagnosis and Risk Stratification. [PDF]
Mitral valve prolapse is a common cardiac condition, with an estimated prevalence between 1% and 3%. Most patients have a benign course, but ever since its initial description mitral valve prolapse has been associated to sudden cardiac death.

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.

Dynamic and quantitative evaluation of degenerative mitral valve disease: A dedicated framework based on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging [PDF]
Background: Accurate quantification of mitral valve (MV) morphology and dynamic behavior over the cardiac cycle is crucial to understand the mechanisms of degenerative MV dysfunction and to guide the surgical intervention. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)

Arrhythmic Mitral Valve Prolapse: A Comprehensive Review
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a prevalent cardiac disorder that impacts approximately 2% to 3% of the overall population. While most patients experience a benign clinical course, there is evidence suggesting that a subgroup of MVP patients face an ...

Prognostic value of mitral valve prolapse and mild mitral regurgitation in competitive athletes [PDF]
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and mild mitral regurgitation (MR) are ones of the most common structural changes of the heart and affect many young individuals, who aspire to partake in competitive sport or high intensity recreational exercise.

Dark-blood late gadolinium enhancement CMR improves detection of papillary muscle fibrosis in patients with mitral valve prolapse [PDF]
PURPOSE: Papillary muscle fibrosis may act as an arrhythmogenic substrate in patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP). Previous studies used conventional bright-blood late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance (LGE CMR) imaging to ...

Finite element analysis of mitral valve annuloplasty in Barlow's disease [PDF]
Barlow’s Disease affects the entire mitral valve apparatus causing mitral regurgitation. Standard annuloplasty procedures lead to an average of 55% annular area reduction of the end diastolic pre-operative annular area in Barlow’s diseased valves ...
