    Journal: Dtsch Med Wochenschr; 1979 Jan 19; 104(3):85-9. PubMed ID: 759155.
    Abstract:
    Long-term ECG monitoring over 22 hours and exercise ECGs were performed in 72 patients with mitral valve prolapse syndrome. 70% of the patients had ventricular arrhythmias. In 28% severe arrhythmias in the form of multifocal atopic beats and ventricular runs were demonstrated. Long-term ECG monitoring was a suitable method for detection of these arrhythmias and superior to exercise ECG. Clinical, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic findings could not be correlated to the severity of ventricular arrhythmias.
