Four patients with mitral valve prolapse and ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation were described. Case 1 was a 46-year-old man with syncope due to ventricular fibrillation. Case 2 was a 36-year-old woman with palpitation and dizziness due to ventricular tachycardia. Case 3 was a 47-year-old man with palpitation and dizziness due to ventricular tachycardia. Case 4 was a 38-year-old man with syncope due to torsade de pointes. Left ventriculograms showed mitral valve prolapse in all cases. Coronary arteriograms were also normal, supporting a noncoronary etiology of the arrhythmia. Patients with unexplained ventricular arrhythmias should be screened for mitral valve prolapse.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D008945 Mitral Valve Prolapse Abnormal protrusion or billowing of one or both of the leaflets of MITRAL VALVE into the LEFT ATRIUM during SYSTOLE. This allows the backflow of blood into left atrium leading to MITRAL VALVE INSUFFICIENCY; SYSTOLIC MURMURS; or CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA.

D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead
