Key result
A subgroup of young females with bileaflet mitral valve prolapse, complex ventricular ectopy, and myocardial fibrosis are at increased risk for sudden cardiac death, suggesting a role for CMR in risk stratification.
Why the study?
Sudden cardiac death in mitral valve prolapse patients, particularly young asymptomatic individuals without significant MR, lacks clear risk stratification methods.
Highlights need for prospective CMR validation in young females with bileaflet MVP; leaves open its role in SCD risk stratification.

A 2017 study conducted a review in Mitral valve prolapse and sudden cardiac death. Risk stratification using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) was evaluated. A subgroup of young females with bileaflet mitral valve prolapse, complex ventricular ectopy, and myocardial fibrosis are at increased risk for sudden cardiac death, suggesting a role for CMR in risk stratification.
