  • Title: Fatal embolism in mitral valve prolapse.
    Author: Schnee MA, Bucal AA.
    Journal: Chest; 1983 Feb; 83(2):285-7. PubMed ID: 6822119.
    Abstract:
    The postmortem demonstration of fatal cerebral embolism arising from a thrombus detected at the base of a prolapsing and myxomatous mitral valve is reported. The clinical demonstration of recurrent atrial fibrillation in this patient lends support to the suggested use of anticoagulant therapy in similar patients.
