چکیده
452 markers were within the reference ranges. Base‐ line electrocardiogram (ECG) showed sinus rhythm with frequent ventricular extrasystoles and episodes of nonsustained ventricular tachy‐ cardia, without any conduction disorder. Flat T waves in the inferior leads (III, aVF) were pres‐ ent (FIGURE 1A). A 24 ‐hour ECG recording showed a sinus rhythm of 62 bpm with frequent episodes of polymorphic ventricular arrhythmia (8760 A 23 ‐year ‐old woman with diagnosed mitral valve prolapse (MVP) was admitted to a cardiac depart‐ ment because of frequent polymorphic ventric‐ ular extrasystoles and episodes of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia on Holter monitoring. On admission, the patient reported palpita‐ tions, persistent weakness, and episodes of non‐ specific chest pain and arthralgia.

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 کاملAssociation between Body Mass Index and Mitral Valve Prolapse
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 ...
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 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...
متن کاملE VALUATION OF ADENYLATE CYCLASE ACTIVITY IN MITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE
The term mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is used for a particular subset of patients with hyperadrenergic dysautonomia. It occurs when part of a leaflet or both leaflets of the mitral valve extend above the plane of the atrioventricular junction during ventricular systole. The adenylate cyclase activity in MVP dys-autonomia was studied by extraction of enzyme from the erythrocytes from 62 norma...
