Abstract
Bileaflet Mitral Valve Prolapse (bMVP) has been linked to major arrhythmic events and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Consistent predictors in this field are still lacking. Echocardiography is the best tool for the analysis of the prolapse and its impact on the ventricular mechanics. The aim of this study was to find new echocardiographic predictors of malignant events within an arrhythmic MVP population. We evaluated 22 patients with arrhythmic bMVP with a transthoracic echocardiogram focused on mitral valve anatomy and ventricular contraction. Six of them had major arrhythmic events that required ICD implantation (ICD-MVP group), while sixteen presented with a high arrhythmic burden without major events (A-MVP group). The best predictors of malignant events were the Anterior Mitral Leaflet (AML) greater length and greater Mechanical Dispersion (MD) of basal and mid-ventricular segments, while other significant predictors were the larger mitral valve annulus (MVA) indexed area, lower MVA anteroposterior diameter/AML length ratio, higher inferolateral basal segment S3 velocity.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
