Abstract
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) affects approximately 2.5% of the population and represents the most common cause of primary mitral regurgitation. Mitral regurgitation is related to increased leaflet size, prolapse asymmetry, long clefts, calcification, and restricted leaflet motion. Chordal abnormalities, including increased length and rupture, also play a role. MVP is also recognized as an important cause of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden arrhythmic death. Patients with arrhythmic MVP commonly exhibit an echocardiographic phenotype characterized by thick, long mitral leaflets with multi-segment bi-leaflet prolapse and mitral annular disjunction, with or without significant MR. This review discusses the pathophysiology and echocardiographic findings of these abnormalities.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography(JASE) brings physicians and sonographers peer-reviewed original investigations and state-of-the-art review articles that cover conventional clinical applications of cardiovascular ultrasound, as well as newer techniques with emerging clinical applications. These include three-dimensional echocardiography, strain and strain rate methods for evaluating cardiac mechanics and interventional applications.
