Severity of mitral valve prolapse is associated with basal left ventricular hypertrophy: a cardiac magnetic resonance study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Recently, basal left ventricular hypertrophy has been suggested as a new form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. However, we have noticed that substantial focal basal hypertrophy often occurs in patients with mitral valve prolapse (Figure 1). Our objective was to characterize the extent and distribution of focal basal left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with MVP and assess the correlation between the degree of focal hypertrophy and various myocardial structural parameters.

ABSTRACT: Mitral Valve Prolapse (WVP) in one of the commonest cardiac abnormalities. Echocardiography has generally been accepted as the diagnostic modality of choice, To assess the characteristic symptoms signs and electrocardiographic abnormalities of MVP results of prospective 500 age and sex matched healthy subjects without echocardiographic MVP (control subjects).

Certain subsets of high-risk mitral valve patients are not suitable candidates for transcatheter therapies. The objective of this report is to present a young patient with combined mitral valve and coronary artery disease to illustrate these challenges.In this report, we present a 47-year-old man with longstanding HIV infection who was referred with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and profound...
متن کاملCORRECTED QT DISPERSION IN CHILDREN WITH ISOLATED UNCOMPLICATED MITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a relatively frequent valvular abnormality. In both children and adults with MVP, an increased incidence of ventricular arrhythmias has been reported. QT dispersion, defined as the difference in duration between the longest QT interval and the shortest one, for a given set of electrocardiographic leads has been proposed as a sign of regional difference in card...

Introduction: Body mass index (BMI) can affect cardiac morphology; however, the relationship between BMI and valvular heart diseases has not been thoroughly evaluated. This study aimed to determine the relationship between BMI and mitral valve prolapse (MVP) as one of the most common valve diseases worldwide. It can help us to better understand pathophysiology of this common disease. Materials ...

Introduction Aborted sudden cardiac death (SCD) occurred in a previously asymptomatic 58-year-old woman with mitral valve prolapse. Electrocardiogram (ECG) soon after defibrillation and after flecainide challenge was consistent with type 1 Brugada pattern. Contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study of the left ventricle showed a delayed enhancement (suggesting fibrosis) of the inferior-bas...
