Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study investigates the characteristics and prevalence of mitral annular disjunction in patients with mitral valve prolapse with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) at Assiut University Heart Hospital.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Mitral annular disjunction is a structural defect of the mitral annulus fibrous commonly associated with mitral leaflet prolapse. However, there have been few cases of mitral annular disjunction in mitral valve prolapse (MVP).

Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is a structural defect characterized by a clear separation between the mitral valve annulus, the left atrium wall, and the myocardial continuity. This condition can be seen in a 360-degree circle around the mitral valve annulus. However, it is most typically seen in the inferolateral myocardium, right behind the posterior mitral valve leaflet. It is generally present in the P1 and P2 mitral valve scallops.

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) occurs in 3% of the population and is the most common reason for mitral valve replacement\[1\]. According to population and cohort studies, the patient's age significantly influences mitral valve prolapse (MVP) outcomes, left ventricular ejection fraction, and the severity of mitral regurgitation. Mitral regurgitation has little influence if it is not severe. While the link between MVP and sudden cardiac death was first discovered many years ago, it was once assumed to be extremely low risk. Recent observational studies have found a link between MVP and malignant ventricular arrhythmias, as well as sudden cardiac death, in a particular population of young and middle-aged people. This raise worries regarding the existence of an arrhythmic MVP variation. Recent research has led to a better knowledge of the aberrant physiological processes and circumstances that enhance the likelihood of developing irregular heart rhythms in people with mitral valve prolapse.

The diagnosis of mitral valve regurgitation can be accurately determined by non-invasive imaging techniques such as transthoracic echocardiography, Transesophageal echocardiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
