Echocardiographic identification of the mitral valve prolapse syndrome. 1977

A N DeMaria, and A Neumann, and G Lee, and D T Mason

The data presented herein would indicate that mitral valve prolapse may be represented by a variable spectrum of abnormalities on the echocardiogram. Utilizing all the abnormalities described, echographic evidence of mitral valve prolapse may be detected in most patients with this disorder. However, evidence of mitral valve prolapse may also be observed in a large contingent of asymptomatic patients without other clinical manifestations of cardiac disease. The biologic significance of these echographic abnormalities remains uncertain and constitutes an important area for future investigation.
