Abstract

Mitral valve prolapse is a commonly described entity with a highly variable and benign course. However, it is associated with ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in a small subset of patients. Recent studies have yielded insight into myocardial mechanics and the causation of ventricular arrhythmias in these groups of patients.

Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) characterized by detachment of mitral annulus from left ventricular myocardium is associated with morphological and functional remodeling of the left ventricular myocardium. Resultant fibrosis acts as a substrate of ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death.

We present two such cases of arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse associated with MAD. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging provides excellent morphological information and also helps in the assessment of fibrosis.

Note

The study was undertaken by conforming to the Declaration of Helsinki.
