MITRALVALVE DISEASE | Mitral Valve Prolapse Patients with Less than Moderate Mitral Regurgitation Exhibit Early Cardiac Chamber Remodeling

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP), which has a prevalence of 2.4% in the general population, is the most common etiology of mitral regurgitation (MR). The natural history of MVP is diverse, ranging from slow progression of mild MR degrees, to rapid progression to severe MR requiring cardiac surgery.......
