ABSTRACT
It is well appreciated today that sudden cardiac death (SCD) occurs in patients with floppy mitral valve (FMV)/mitral valve prolapse (MVP) without significant mitral regurgitation . Data from studies most likely represent a heterogeneous population and probably underestimate the true incidence of SCD in this group of patients. SCD in patients with FMV/MVP occurs mostly in young individuals without comorbidities. Over the last decade, the phenotypic expression of patients with FMV/MVP at risk for SCD (bileaflet prolapse, redundant mitral leaflets, symptomatic young women) have been defined, possible pathophysiologic mechanisms leading to SCD have been proposed, and appropriate steps to prevent the catastrophic event, though in evolution, have been suggested. In this review, state-of-the-art knowledge related to SCD in patients with FMV/MVP is summarized.
