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.

3D echocardiography in mitral valve prolapse
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is the leading cause of mitral valve surgery. Echocardiography is the principal imaging modality used to diagnose MVP, assess the mitral valve morphology and mitral annulus dynamics, and quantify mitral regurgitation.

Influence of involvement of anterior leaflet versus posterior leaflet on residual regurgitation as assessed by transesophageal echocardiography in patients undergoing valve repair for mitral regurgitation due to mitral valve prolapse [PDF]
Background Repair of anterior leaflet prolapse is technically more challenging and this might influence outcomes as compared to the repair of posterior leaflet prolapse in patients undergoing surgical correction of mitral regurgitation.

Stroke in the young: infective endocarditis due to mitral valve prolapse leading to acute ischemic stroke and subsequent hemorrhagic transformation [PDF]
Background Stroke in young needs an individualized approach before considering thrombolysis. Here we present a case of undiagnosed mitral valve prolapse presenting with stroke due to associated infective endocarditis.
