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

Background: Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a frequent disease that can be complicated by
mitral regurgitation (MR), heart failure, arterial embolism, rhythm disorders, and death. Left …

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common valvular disorder that can be associated with mitral
regurgitation (MR), heart failure, ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Given …

Background Patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) may develop adverse outcomes even
in the absence of mitral regurgitation or left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Purpose To …

Background Discrepancies have been observed between transthoracic echocardiography
(TTE) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) severity grading in primary mitral …
