Relation between clinical features of the mitral prolapse syndrome and echocardiographically documented mitral valve prolapse

Abstract

Mitral valve prolapse, the most common inherited cardiovascular condition, has been associated with a variety of signs, symptoms and electrocardiographic abnormalities, but the true spectrum of the mitral prolapse syndrome remains in doubt because clinical findings often contribute to patient identification and their prevalence in patient groups may be overstated because of ascertainment bias. Accordingly, clinical findings in 88 patients with echocardiographic mitral prolapse were compared with those in 81 of their adult first degree relatives with mitral prolapse (a group free of ascertainment bias) and in two control groups without mitral prolapse: 172 first degree relatives and 60 spouses. Comparison of relatives with and without mitral prolapse demonstrated true associations between mitral prolapse and clicks or murmurs, or both (67 versus 9%, p less than 0.001), thoracic bony abnormalities (41 versus 16%, p less than 0.001), systolic blood pressure less than 120 mm Hg (53 versus 31%, p less than 0.001), body weight 90% or less of ideal (31 versus 14%, p less than 0.005) and palpitation (40 versus 24%, p less than 0.01). In contrast, relatives with mitral prolapse showed no significant increase over normal relatives or spo...Continue Reading
