Does aging influence the clinical profile and complications in patients with mitral valve prolapse?
Does aging influence the clinical profile and complications in patients with mitral valve prolapse?
Middle-aged and elderly patients with mitral valve prolapse have more severe mitral regurgitation and a higher risk of progressing to congestive heart failure compared to younger patients.
Supports age-stratified surveillance in mitral valve prolapse; hypothesis-generating for prospective validation of progression risk.
