Cerebral ischemic events in patients with mitral valve prolapse.
All patients 20 years old or older referred for echocardiographic examination and found to have mitral valve prolapse during the period January 1975 through December 1979 were included in the study. Of the 1,138 patients, two-thirds were women and one-third were men. Their average age was 48.4 years. Forty patients (3.5%) had histories of prior focal cerebrovascular ischemic events. In 26 of th...

متن کاملMitral valve prolapse and cerebral ischemic events. A comparison between a neurology population with stroke and a cardiology population with mitral valve prolapse observed for five years.
Two populations of patients with mitral valve prolapse were analyzed to identify factors predisposing to the development of cerebral emboli. Of 760 patients followed for up to five years by our cardiologists with echocardiographically demonstrated mitral valve prolapse (MVP), only one, aged 82 years, has had a stroke. In contrast, of 43 patients admitted to our neurology service with a cerebral...
متن کاملMitral valve prolapse and cerebral infarction.
SEVERAL RECENT REPORTS, including the one by Scharf et al. in this issue, have firmly established the association of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and cerebral infarction, especially in young adults with unexplained stroke (table 1). It is not surprising that this association is more difficult to demonstrate in older stroke patients, in whom atheroembolic mechanisms predominate. Assuming that the...
متن کاملMarcus-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...
