ABSTRACT
Adequate grading of mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) in the presence of mid-late systolic jets can represent a major challenge. In this entity, jets are commonly overestimated by echocardiography. Correct quantification is crucial and highly relevant for the further management and prognosis of these oftentimes young patients. This case points out potential pitfalls and underlines the importance to systematically include qualitative, quantitative, and semi-quantitative parameters into the echocardiographic assessment.
