Prevalence of Mitral Annulus Disjunction and Mitral Valve Prolapse in Patients With Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation [PDF]
Journal of the American Heart Association, 2022 Background Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) is diagnosed in patients with ventricular fibrillation of which the origin is not identified after extensive evaluations. Recent studies suggest an association between mitral annulus disjunction (MAD),

Case report: Aborted sudden cardiac death as a first presentation of severe mitral annulus disjunction—a case series and review of the literature [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023 Mitral annulus disjunction (MAD) is defined as a systolic displacement between the ventricular myocardium and the posterior mitral annulus supporting the posterior mitral leaflet.

Mitral Annulus Disjunction Causing Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias in a Young Lady With Palpitations, Cardiac Ablation Terminated the Complaints [PDF]
Clinical Case Reports (discontinued)Mitral annulus disjunction (MAD) is a rare but significant cause of ventricular arrhythmias in young patients. Timely diagnosis using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and targeted management with catheter ablation can effectively control arrhythmias ...

Mitral Annulus Disjunction and Arrhythmic Mitral Valve Prolapse: Emerging Role of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Workup [PDF]
Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2022 Mitral valve prolapse is a commonly described entity with a highly variable and benign course. However, it is associated with ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in a small subset of patients.

Arrhythmic Mitral Valve Prolapse and Mitral Annulus Disjunction in Heritable Aortic DiseaseNovel Teaching Points [PDF]
CJC Open, 2021 Patients with heritable aortic disease (HAD) have an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Although mitral valve prolapse is common in HAD, mitral annulus disjunction (MAD) has only recently been described in these patients.

Increased levels of sST2 in patients with mitral annulus disjunction and ventricular arrhythmias [PDF]
Open Heart, 2019 Objective Displacement of the mitral valve, mitral annulus disjunction (MAD), is described as a possible aetiology of sudden cardiac death. Stress-induced fibrosis in the mitral valve apparatus has been suggested as the underlying mechanism.

Arrhythmogenic mitral valve prolapse and mitral annular disjunction: a literature review and case-based perspective [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular MedicineMitral valve prolapse (MVP) is among the most frequently diagnosed valvular heart diseases, with the majority of patients being asymptomatic. However, MVP may also present with ventricular arrhythmias (VA) or sudden cardiac death (SCD).
