[Arrhythmias in the mitral valve prolapse syndrome].
Possible connections have been investigated between PVc (premature ventricular contractions) and echocardiographic patterns in 23 patients affected by MVPS. Pansystolic prolapse has been found in 12 cases and mid-systolic prolapse in 11. A correlation has been found between significant ventricular arrhythmias (50 PVc/24 h) and mid-systolic prolapse. These findings suggest the mechanical origin of cardiac rhythm disorders.
