摘要：
To determine whether mitral valve prolapse (MVP) with or without mitral leaflet thickening (greater than or equal to 5 mm) represents distinct heritable conditions, 13 patients with MVP with leaflet thickening and their relatives were compared with 67 patients with MVP with normal leaflets and their relatives. The 2 groups of relatives had similar mitral leaflet thicknesses and similar longterm outcome, arguing against the existence of a distinctive subtype of MVP characterized by increased mitral leaflet thickness.
