Pediatric Mitral Valve Prolapse
source: Medscape
year: 2017
authors: Poothirikovil Venugopalan
summary/abstract:Mitral valve prolapse (MVP), the most common anomaly of the mitral valve apparatus, occurs when one or both mitral valve leaflets excessively billows into the left atrium toward the end of systole. Mitral regurgitation (MR) develops in some patients with mitral valve prolapse, particularly those with more significant prolapse, when the valve edges fail to coapt. An extreme form of prolapse could include chordal rupture, in which the prolapsed mitral valve is flail. Mitral valves excised from patients with severe MR secondary to mitral valve prolapse have large leaflets and various histologic alterations.
