Mitral leaflet prolapse

Mitral leaflet prolapse is a common incidental finding. It can be complicated by gross mitral regurgitation, infective endocarditis, atrial fibrillation and left atrial thrombus and thus embolism to the brain. However, there is no excess risk of first or recurrent stroke in patients with uncomplicated mitral leaflet prolapse (Orencia et al. 1995a, b). [Pg.65]

Moderate-risk conditions Mitral valve prolapse with valvular regurgitation or leaflet thickening, isolated mitral stenosis, tricuspid-valve disease, pulmonary stenosis, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy... [Pg.2000]

Low- or no-risk conditions Secundum atrial septal defect, ischemic heart disease, previous coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and mitral valve prolapse with thin leaflets in the absence of regurgitations Temperature >38°C (100.4°F)... [Pg.2000]
