population, and the most complex form of valve pathology, with a complication rate up to 10 …

Background: The relation between ventricular arrhythmia and fibrosis in mitral valve
prolapse (MVP) is reported, but underlying valve-induced mechanisms remain unknown. We …

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is the most common valve disease in the western world and

Background: Recent studies have linked mitral valve prolapse to localized myocardial
fibrosis, ventricular arrhythmia, and even sudden cardiac death independent of mitral …

Background The presence of mitral annulus disjunction (MAD) has been considered a high-
