[Transient myocardial ischemia and isolated congenital mitral valve prolapse in an infant].
The investigation of a cardiac murmur in a 9 month old infant led to the clinical, echo and angiographic diagnosis of congenital mitral regurgitation due to isolated mitral valve prolapse, whereas the electrocardiogram showed signs of inferior myocardial ischaemia which regressed in a week. The valvular dysfunction of mitral valve prolapse has been held responsible for coronary spasm ischaemia and infarction in adults. This complication has not been previously reported to our knowledge in infancy.
