Arrhythmic Mitral Valve Prolapse in the Young: A Rare but Concerning Entity
Arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is an increasingly recognized clinical entity, characterized by the association of myxomatous mitral valve, ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Prevalence of MVP is reported ranging between 2% and 5% of the general population, and risk...

description | Arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is an increasingly recognized clinical entity, characterized by the association of myxomatous mitral valve, ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Prevalence of MVP is reported ranging between 2% and 5% of the general population, and risk of SCD is estimated approximately 0.3% per year. Diagnosis of MVP and the occurrence of fatal events involve generally adults aged 30 to 50 years, whereas in younger and even pediatric individuals has rarely been described. Herein, we report two clinical cases of malignant MVP in young patients, with the aim to point out the clinical features and the challenge of clinical management and risk stratification. |
