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 …

Objectives Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is commonly observed as a benign finding. However,
the literature suggests that it may be associated with sudden cardiac death (SCD). We …

Risk stratification scheme. Risk stratification aiming at assessing the risk of VAs and SCD in
patients with MVP, involving two phases based on the clinical and imaging context and the …

Background: Mitral annulus disjunction (MAD) is an abnormal atrial displacement of the
mitral valve leaflet hinge point. MAD has been associated with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) …

Background Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is often considered benign but recent suggestion of
an arrhythmic MVP (AMVP) form remains incompletely defined and uncertain. Objectives …

There is an increasing awareness of the association between mitral valve prolapse and
sudden cardiac death. There are several clinical risk factors associated with an increased …

Objective We aimed to investigate the association of diffuse myocardial fibrosis by cardiac
magnetic resonance (CMR) T1 with complex ventricular arrhythmia (ComVA) in mitral valve …

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is the most frequent valve condition but remains a conundrum in
many aspects, particularly in regard to the existence and frequency of an arrhythmic form …

Objective Bileaflet mitral valve prolapse (MVP) with either focal or diffuse myocardial fibrosis
has been linked to ventricular arrhythmia and/or sudden cardiac arrest. Left ventricular (LV) …

Objectives The goal of this study was to investigate the characteristics of mitral valve
prolapse (MVP) in a post-mortem study of consecutive sudden cardiac deaths (SCDs) in …
