He thought this disorder was similar to that described earlier among British troops in India and in the Crimean War.

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...

Marfan syndrome and mitral valve prolapse.

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP), an abnormal displacement into the left atrium of a thickened and redundant mitral valve during systole, is a relatively frequent abnormality in humans and may be associated with serious complications. A recent study implicates fibrillin-1, a component of extracellular matrix microfibrils, in the pathogenesis of a murine model of MVP. This investigation represents an...

Electrocardiographic Changes in Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome

INTRODUCTION Mitral valve prolapse syndrome (MVP) is the most common valvular abnormalityin the young and is correlated with increased frequency of cardiac dysrhythmias and sudden death.The aim of this study was to compare frequency of "early repolarization" in electrocardiogram(ECG) between MVP patients and healthy adults. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we compared ECG presentations ...

[Mitral valve prolapse syndrome and arrhythmias].

In patients with mitral valve prolapse syndrome various disturbances of cardiac rhythm can be observed such as atrial arrhythmias, ventricular tachycardias and conduction disturbances. Of timely interest are the questions of which etiology is at the basis of the arrhythmias, what is their relevance with respect to sudden cardiac death, what are the indications for treatment and which therapeuti...
