On laboratory workup, he was jaundiced with total bilirubin of 42umol/L, and a troponin level of 101ng/L. He was seen by cardiology and given an initial diagnosis of cardiomyopathy potentially alcohol induced. [westjem.com]

Nonclassic MVP: Displacement is more than 2 mm, with a maximal leaflet thickness of less than 5 mm Other echocardiographic findings that should be considered as criteria are leaflet thickening, redundancy, annular dilatation, and chordal elongation See Workup [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prognosis is excellent in the absence of significant regurgitation, but chordal rupture and endocarditis may occur. No specific treatment is necessary unless significant mitral regurgitation is present. [merckmanuals.com]

Prognosis Excellent prognosis for asymptomatic patients For patients with severe MR or reduced ejection fraction, the prognosis is similar to that for nonischemic MR. [tipsdiscover.com]

Complications and prognosis [ 2 ] Anterior leaflet mitral valve repair is associated with a higher risk for re-operation than posterior leaflet repair.The overall prognosis is excellent for most patients with MVP, with an expected lifespan similar to [patient.info]

The majority of people with mitral valve prolapse have an excellent prognosis and need no treatment. For these individuals, routine examinations including echocardiograms every few years may suffice. [medicinenet.com]

We address both issues in the context of a recent article published in the Journal, which explored the results of mitral valve repair in degenerative disease according to etiologic classification - Barlow's disease or fibroelastic deficiency. [mitralvalverepair.org]

Myxomatous degeneration is the main etiology of prolapsing valvular leaflets causing mitral regurgitation, explaining the fact that MVP is uncommon before adolescence. [casereports.in]

MVP is the most common cause of mitral regurgitation requiring surgical repair, however, very little is known about its etiology. MVP has a strong genetic background with significant heterogeneity. [cordis.europa.eu]
