  • Title: Double orifice in prolapsing mitral valve.
    Author: De Domenico R, Gheno G, Cucchini F.
    Journal: Int J Cardiol; 1993 Sep; 41(2):171-2. PubMed ID: 8282443.
    Abstract:
    A prolapsing mitral valve with a double orifice ('hole type') was documented by echocardiography in a 35-year-old male. His symptoms were associated to supraventricular ectopic beats and persisted unchanged during a 3-year follow-up. This malformation is usually considered benign but, as fragmentation of the atrioventricular conduction tissue was reported in some cases, a periodic observation is advisable.
