[Two-dimensional echocardiographic criteria in diagnosing mitral valve prolapse]. 1986

Central Laboratory, Keio University School of Medicine, Tokyo.

Diagnostic accuracy and reproducibility of the two-dimensional echocardiographic criteria for mitral valve prolapse were evaluated in 68 cases with phonocardiographic features of mitral valve prolapse. Intraobserver difference for the diagnosis of mitral valve prolapse was also evaluated by reviewing the same videotapes from these 68 cases on two different occasions (five years apart). Of 45 cases who had been interpreted as having anterior leaflet prolapse, the same interpretation was made in 37 cases (82.2%), involvement of the posterior leaflet was suggested in four cases, and prolapsing leaflets were not identified in four cases. Of 21 cases with anterior and posterior leaflets prolapse, the diagnosis agreed in only 13 cases (61.9%). The follow-up echocardiography performed in the mean period of three years revealed the reproducible findings in 19 of 20 cases.

D008943	Mitral Valve	The valve between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart.	Bicuspid Valve,Bicuspid Valves,Mitral Valves,Valve, Bicuspid,Valve, Mitral,Valves, Bicuspid,Valves, Mitral
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.
