Perspectives on Mitral-Valve Prolapse

New England Journal of Medicine, 1999
More than three decades ago, Barlow and Bosman described a constellation of clinical findings consisting of non-ejection systolic clicks and a late systolic murmur, T-wave abnormalities, and systol...

Repair of Mitral-Valve Prolapse

New England Journal of Medicine, 2010
To the Editor: In the review article by Verma and Mesana (Dec. 3 issue),1 mitral-valve prolapse is defined as the displacement of some portion of one or both mitral-valve leaflets into the left atrium during systole. This term was introduced in 1966 by Criley et al.2 and has been frequently used as a synonym for “billowing mitral leaflet,” which was ...

Pain in mitral valve prolapse

Pain, 1989
Thirty subjects with mitral valve prolapse were carefully observed, in order to investigate whether chest pain, characteristic of angina pectoris, was present. No cases of angina pectoris or of heart pain were observed. A characteristic which did emerge was that 86% of the subjects suffered a typical myofascial pain of the muscles of the chest.

Mitral Valve Prolapse in the Elderly

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 1979
ABSTRACT This study included 40 patients over 60 years of age with echocardiographic findings of mitral valve prolapse (MVP). Most of these patients were unaware of any cardiac disorder until the time of echocardiography. In the majority, the clinical manifestations were benign, and the duration of symptoms variable.

Keratoconus and mitral valve prolapse

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 2000
To investigate the prevalence of keratoconus in patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP).Videokeratography was performed in 36 patients (72 eyes) with an echocardiographic diagnosis of MVP, and were compared with 25 controls. All participants underwent slit-lamp examination and completed a medical questionnaire about joint hypermobility, arthralgia ...

Dysautonomia in mitral valve prolapse

The American Journal of Medicine, 1979
Many of the clinical features of patients with mitral valve prolapse can logically be attributed to abnormal autonomic neural function. Accordingly, we have studied heart rate and blood pressure response to a standardized Valsalva maneuver and postural test in 44 untreated patients with demonstrated mitral valve prolapse.

Comparison of mitral valve dimensions and motion in mitral valve prolapse with severe mitral regurgitation to uncomplicated mitral valve prolapse and to mitral regurgitation without mitral valve prolapse

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1988
To determine the mitral valve abnormalities associated with hemodynamically important mitral regurgitation (MR) among patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP), computerized 2-dimensional echocardiographic measurements of mitral leaflet and anular dimensions and motion in 26 patients with MVP and MR were compared to those in 48 subjects with ...
