Arrhythmic Mitral Valve Prolapse: Introducing an Era of Multimodality Imaging-Based Diagnosis and Risk Stratification

open access: yesDiagnostics, 2021
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
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.

Mitral valve and left ventricular features in malignant mitral valve prolapse. [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Heart, 2018
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 ...

Genetics and pathophysiology of mitral valve prolapse

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common condition affecting 2–3% of the general population, and the most complex form of valve pathology, with a complication rate up to 10–15% per year in advanced stages.

Should mitral valve prolapse be considered as one of the risk factors for open angle glaucoma? A preliminary observation [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Ophthalmology, 2022
AIM: To assess the incidence of mitral valve prolapse in patients with newly diagnosed primary open angle glaucoma. METHODS: The study included 12 patients without any other comorbidities or taking any general or local medications. Each patient underwent

Abnormal Mechanics Relate to Myocardial Fibrosis and Ventricular Arrhythmias in Patients With Mitral Valve Prolapse

open access: yesCirculation Cardiovascular Imaging, 2022
Background: The relation between ventricular arrhythmia and fibrosis in mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is reported, but underlying valve-induced mechanisms remain unknown.

Arrhythmogenic mitral valve prolapse-a systematic review of ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death outcomes before and after mitral valve surgery. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Arrhythm
This systematic review aims to determine whether MVS reduces the incidence of VA and SCD in patients with MVP. Available studies show a likely reduction when surgery is performed in line with current guideline‐directed indications; however, a residual risk of VA and SCD remains.

Native and Post-Repair Residual Mitral Valve Prolapse Increases Forces Exerted on the Papillary Muscles: A Possible Mechanism for Localized Fibrosis?

open access: yesCirculation. Cardiovascular Interventions, 2022
Background: Recent studies have linked mitral valve prolapse to localized myocardial fibrosis, ventricular arrhythmia, and even sudden cardiac death independent of mitral regurgitation or hemodynamic dysfunction.

Aborted sudden cardiac death due to ventricular fibrillation in a female patient with mitral valve prolapse

open access: yesCardiovascular Ultrasound, 2021
Background Mitral valve prolapse is the most frequent valvular defect associated with a wide range of electro-hemodynamic abnormalities, leading to heart failure, arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Mitral valve prolapse, first described from Barlow in
