Letter by Barison et al Regarding Article, "Familial Clustering of Mitral Valve Prolapse in the Community".
BACKGROUND Knowledge of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) inheritance is based on pedigree observation and M-mode echocardiography. The extent of familial clustering of MVP among unselected individuals in the community using current, more specific echocardiographic criteria is unknown. In addition, the importance of nondiagnostic MVP morphologies (NDMs; first described in large pedigrees) has not bee...
متن کاملLetter by Sheppard et al Regarding Article, "Arrhythmic Mitral Valve Prolapse and Sudden Cardiac Death".
To the Editor: We read with great interest the excellent article by Basso et al on arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and sudden cardiac death in Circulation. The investigators reported a relatively high prevalence of MVP in individuals experiencing sudden death. Such deaths were more common in young women and were associated with myocardial fibrosis in the papillary muscles and the inferob...
متن کاملLetter by Providencia and Lambiase Regarding Article, "Arrhythmic Mitral Valve Prolapse and Sudden Cardiac Death".
BACKGROUND Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) may present with ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD) even in the absence of hemodynamic impairment. The structural basis of ventricular electric instability remains elusive. METHODS AND RESULTS The cardiac pathology registry of 650 young adults (≤40 years of age) with SCD was reviewed, and cases with MVP as the only cause of SCD were r...

متن کاملResponse to Letters Regarding Article, "Arrhythmic Mitral Valve Prolapse and Sudden Cardiac Death".
Our article on “arrhythmic” mitral valve prolapse (MVP) triggered a debate among clinical cardiologists about the implications in terms of diagnosis, risk stratification, and therapy. Thus, the letters by Sheppard et al and Providencia and Lambiase are welcome and give us the opportunity to be back on this hot topic. Sheppard et al, by studying a series of sudden cardiac death (SCD) victims wit...
