How should risk stratification for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death be performed in patients with arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse and mitral annular disjunction complex?
This expert consensus statement provides a standardized risk stratification scheme for assessing the risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in patients with arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse.
Graphical Abstract Risk stratification scheme. Risk stratification aiming at assessing the risk of VAs and SCD in patients with MVP, involving two phases based on the clinical and imaging context and the uncovered arrhythmia. In the absence of ventricular tachycardia, phenotypic risk features will trigger the intensity of screening for arrhythmia. Green boxes indicate green heart consensus statements and yellow boxes indicate yellow heart consensus statements. High risk - sustained VT, polymorphic NSVT, fast (>180 bpm) NSVT, VT/NSVT resulting in syncope. ICD = implantable cardioverter defibrillator; LA = left atrium; LGE = late gadolinium enhancement; LV-EF = left ventricular ejection fraction; MAD = mitral annular disjunction; MV = mitral valve; PVCs = premature ventricular contractions; TWI = T-wave inversion; VT = ventricular tachycardia.
