| Popis: | A high-risk subset of patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and a predisposition to sudden cardiac death (SCD) has been proposed. We analyzed the results of programmed ventricular stimulation (PVS) in 20 patients with MVP and ventricular arrhythmias (ventricular premature depolarization in 6, ventricular couplets in 2, nonsustained ventricular tachycardia [VT] in 7, ventricular fibrillation [VF] in 5) and in 12 “normal” control subjects. With the use of an identical stimulation protocol from the right ventricular apex (twice diastolic threshold, three extrastimuli), 9 of 20 MVP patients and 1 of 12 normal subjects had inducible ventricular arrhythmias (p |
