  • Title: [Clinical features of idiopathic mitral valve prolapse].
    Author: Rodríguez Y, Petersen F, Villarreal A, Esquivel J, Reyes PA.
    Journal: Arch Inst Cardiol Mex; 1991; 61(6):587-91. PubMed ID: 1793311.
    Abstract:
    This paper ask a question; is there a generalized defect of the connective tissue among subjects with primary mitral valve prolapse? Based on clinical methods it was found that paired subjects with and without primary mitral valve prolapse, are different in respect of an arbitrary score of joint hypermobility and phenotypic features. This is a statistically significant difference and suggest a possible molecular defect affecting connective tissue in people with primary mitral valve prolapse. Therefore, biochemical and molecular studies should be done to further characterize this abnormality.
