Marcus-gunn phenomenon with- mitral valve prolapse
Marcus-gunn phenomenon is a congenital and sometimes hereditary anomaly, in which a ptotic eyelid retracts momentarily when the mouth is open, or the jaw is moved. These associated movements attributed to abnormal connections between the central mechanisms innervating the pterygoid and elevator muscles. Sometimes this anomaly is associated with dual,s retraction syndrome, duplex kindneys and ur...
متن کاملEffect of position on echocardiographic diagnosis of mitral valve prolapse
Echocardiography has been accepted as the diagnostic modality of choice for mitral valve prolapse (MVP). The determine the effect of position on echocardiographic diagnosis of MVP, we examined 693 consecutive patients referred to the echocardiography laboratory because of suspected MVP. First, patients were examined using the usual standard M-Mode echocardiography( left parasternal third or fou...
متن کاملTranscatheter valve interventions: mitral valve is the next quest
Mitral valve interventions are the next frontier for the structural heart interventionalist. Several challenges have to be overcome, including the variability of mitral valve disease and anatomy, the need for advanced imaging and the need for multiple devices, potentially to be used in combination. However, the unmet need for less-invasive treatments for mitral valve insufficiency is a great dr...
متن کاملAge and the clinical profile of idiopathic mitral valve prolapse.
The prevalence of mitral valve prolapse was determined in two independent populations (6887 consecutive adults and children referred for echocardiography during a three year period and 206 non-referred first degree relatives of 65 patients with mitral valve prolapse). In the 118 adults with echocardiographic evidence of prolapse those aged greater than or equal to 50 years were significantly mo...
متن کاملDegenerative mitral valve disease with emphasis on mitral valve prolapse.
Degenerative mitral valve disease is responsible for the syndromes of billowing mitral leaflet, mitral valve prolapse (MVP), floppy mitral valve, and flail leaflet. The pathology of these is mainly caused by myxomatous infiltration and fibroelastic deficiency. In the 1960s, Reid and Barlow and colleagues proposed that mid to late systolic clicks and apical late systolic murmurs were of mitral v...
