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 ...

Perspectives on the revised Ghent criteria for the diagnosis of Marfan syndrome [PDF]
Three international nosologies have been proposed for the diagnosis of Marfan syndrome (MFS): the Berlin nosology in 1988; the Ghent nosology in 1996 (Ghent-1); and the revised Ghent nosology in 2010 (Ghent-2).

Mitral Valve Prolapse Revisited [PDF]
A 75-year-old man was admitted with abrupt onset of dyspnea during sleep. On examination, his blood pressure was 222/165 mm Hg, pulse was 160 bpm, and oxygen saturation was 75% while breathing ambient air. Heart sounds were difficult to assess because of coarse crackles and his moaning. There was no edema in the extremities.

ABSTRACT Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a rare connective tissue disorder characterized by involvement of the cardiovascular, ocular, and musculoskeletal systems. Pathogenic variants in FBN1 cause most of the MFS cases; however, intellectual disability (ID) is rarely observed. A non‐consanguineous Pakistani family with four affected individuals was recruited.
