Floppy Mitral Valve, Mitral Valve Prolapse, and Mitral Valvular Regurgitation.
It is well recognized that the floppy mitral valve (FMV) complex is the central issue in the FMV, mitral valve prolapse (MVP), and mitral valvular regurgitation (MVR) story. MVP associated with the FMV results from the systolic movement of portions or segments of the FMV complex into the left atrium (LA). Prolapse of the FMV results in unique forms of mitral valvular dysfunction and MVR. When t...

The presence of a mucinous layer in normal valves-- the zona spongiosa--is not well recognised. To establish the normal range of the extent of this zone,...
