Mitral Valve Prolapse and Sudden Cardiac Death: A Systematic Review

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background The relationship between mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains controversial. In this systematic review, we evaluate the relationship between isolated MVP and SCD to better define a potential high‐risk subtype.
