Abstract
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is the most common primary valvular abnormality, associated with various degrees of incompetence and sequelae, including heart failure and sudden cardiac death. Recent improvements in echocardiographic techniques and new insights into mitral valve anatomy and physiology have rendered the diagnosis of this condition more accurate and reliable. Here we review the genetic etiology, clinical significance, diagnosis, and treatment options for MVP patients.
