Hidden in Plain Sight: A Case of Arrhythmic Mitral Valve Prolapse Presenting as Cardiac Arrest

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a well-studied, mostly benign, phenomenon; however, arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse (AMVP) is a rare subtype that can precipitate sudden cardiac death (SCD). Herein, we present a case of a young female with sudden cardiac arrest. Extensive multimodality imaging and fo...

Sumario:Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a well-studied, mostly benign, phenomenon; however, arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse (AMVP) is a rare subtype that can precipitate sudden cardiac death (SCD). Herein, we present a case of a young female with sudden cardiac arrest. Extensive multimodality imaging and follow-up helped establish the diagnosis of AMVP.
