Prolapse of the tricuspid leaflets in the systolic murmer-click syndrome.
Right ventriculography was used to assess the tricuspid valve in 61 patients with systolic murmur-click syndrome. Systolic murmurs were present in 47 cases, and 32 had clicks. Mitral valve prolapse was present in 52 patients. Late systolic prolapse of the tricuspid valve was demonstrated in 32 patients (52.4%). In 9 cases, prolapse involved the tricuspid valve alone. In the systolic murmur-click syndrome, prolapse may involve either or both of the atrioventricular valves.
