Mitral Valve Prolapse, Ventricular Arrhythmias, and Sudden Death.
Despite a 2% to 3% prevalence of echocardiographically defined mitral valve prolapse (MVP) in the general population, the actual burden, risk stratification, and treatment of the so-called arrhythmic MVP are unknown. The clinical profile is characterized

Mitral valve prolapse is a very common condition. It occurs in 4-5% of the population. It may be idiopathic or associated with a number of other conditions. Myxomatous degeneration is the underlying mechanism of mitral valve prolapse. Most patients with mitral valve prolapse have no symptoms. When symptoms do occur, palpitations, chest pain and dyspnea

Back ground: Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is disease present in 2- 3% of the general population. Mitral valve prolapse may be found with mitral regurgitation, bacterial endocarditis, congestive heart failure, and even sudden death.

Clinical Severity Score System in Dogs with Degenerative Mitral Valve Disease [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Several risk factors already have been determined for dogs with degenerative mitral valve disease (DMVD). Risk factors often have been considered in isolation and have not always taken into account additional information provided by the ...

Outcomes following repair of bileaflet prolapse due to myxomatous disease of the mitral valve
Myxomatous disease represents the most common cause of MR due to bileaflet prolapse. Mitral valve repair of mitral regurgitation (MR) due to bileaflet prolapse poses many technical challenges.

The role of experience in echocardiographic identification of location and extent of mitral valve prolapse with 2D and 3D echocardiography [PDF]
Contradiction exists on the incremental value of two-dimensional (2D) and 3D transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) over 2D transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for the detection of mitral valve (MV) prolapse in readers with different echocardiographic ...

Arrhythmogenic Mitral Valve Prolapse
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common condition present in 1–3% of the population. There has been evidence that a subset of MVP patients is at higher risk of sudden cardiac death. The arrhythmogenic mechanism is related to fibrotic changes in the papillary muscles caused by the prolapsing valve.
