摘要
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP), an abnormal displacement into the left atrium of a thickened and redundant mitral valve during systole, is a relatively frequent abnormality in humans and may be associated with serious complications. A recent study implicates fibrillin-1, a component of extracellular matrix microfibrils, in the pathogenesis of a murine model of MVP (see the related article beginning on page 1586). This investigation represents an initial step toward understanding the mechanisms involved in human MVP disease and the development of potential treatments.
