Mitral valve dimensions and motion and familial transmission of mitral valve prolapse with and without mitral leaflet billowing.
To test the hypothesis that mitral valve prolapse may be due either to billowing of mitral leaflets into the left atrium or to dynamic expansion of the mitral anulus, mitral leaflet and annular dimensions and motion were measured by computer-assisted two-dimensional echocardiography in 35 normal adults and 48 subjects with auscultatory and M-mode echocardiographic evidence of mitral prolapse. A...
متن کاملClinical and pathological features of degenerative mitral valve disease: billowing mitral leaflet versus fibroelastic deficiency.
PURPOSE Degenerative mitral valve disease is distinguished with billowing mitral leaflet (BML) or fibroelastic deficiency (FED). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical characteristics and the pathohistological differences between BML and FED. METHODS A total of 73 patients who diagnosed as degenerative mitral valve disease pathologically after mitral valve surgery for severe mi...
متن کاملMitral valve dimensions and motion in Marfan patients with and without mitral valve prolapse. Comparison to primary mitral valve prolapse and normal subjects.
To determine mitral valve and extravalvular findings associated with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) in patients with the Marfan syndrome, we compared mitral leaflet and anular dimensions and motion by computerized two-dimensional echocardiography in 53 Marfan patients (28 with M-mode echocardiographic MVP) to those in 48 adults with primary MVP and in 35 normal subjects. Mitral leaflet billowing o...
متن کاملInfective endocarditis in the billowing mitral leaflet syndrome.
Ten patients with the billowing mitral leaflet syndrome complicated by infective endocarditis are reported. Two patients had a non-ejection systolic click and 8 had both a non-ejection systolic click and a late systolic murmur. These auscultatory features were difficult to detect in 4 instances in that they were intermittent, soft, or brought out only with postural change. Seven patients were u...
متن کاملHemiplegia and the billowing mitral leaflet syndrome.
Four young patients presenting with major neurological episodes and with coexisting prolapsing mitral valve are described. An attempt at correlating the two entities is made. The neurological complications of prolapsing mitral valve are stressed.
