Disease relevance of Mitral Valve Prolapse

  • In addition to the presence of prolapse and regurgitation, the assessment of leaflet thickness, leaflet length, annular diameter, and chordal length is fundamental to the definition and stratification of patients with MVP associated with the floppy mitral valve [1].
  • Certain normal aging changes may mimic heart disease: sigmoid-shaped ventricular septum (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), mitral leaflet "buckling" (floppy mitral valve) [2].
