title: [Mitral prolapse syndrome and hypothyroidism (author's transl)].
abstract: Authors observe a case of hypothyroidism associated with advanced development in weight and height and mitral valve prolapse syndrome (MPS), with rupture of cordae tendinae. The sudden death of a sister promotes the hypothesis of hypothyroidism with a complication of MPS not diagnosed during life and in turn gives rise to comments about this rare morbid association. Hereditary implications, evolutionary risks and necessary reserves in the classification of infantile cardiac murmurs apparently not significant are commented.
