In light of the adverse prognosis related to severe mitral regurgitation, heart failure, or
sudden cardiac death in a subset of patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP), identifying …

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

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 …

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 a commonly occurring heart condition defined by
enlargement and superior displacement of the mitral valve leaflet (s) during systole …

The prevalence of both organic valvular heart disease (VHD) and cardiac arrhythmias is
high in the general population, and their coexistence is common. Both VHD and arrhythmias …

Mitral annular disjunction (MAD), a separation between the left atrium/mitral valve annulus
and the left ventricular myocardium, is frequently seen in patients with arrhythmic mitral …

Background: Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) has recently been recognized as an
