“…(2) It is worth recalling that there is no significant time lag of the frequency spectrum display. ' Tricuspid systolic clicks have been reported in cases of tricuspid valve prolapse, echocardiographically and/or angiographically documented, [16][17][18] They have been also described in cases of tricuspid endocarditis.l9 In Case 1, several comments may be drawn from the Doppler study.…”

Echo-pulsed doppler (EPD) studies were performed in 2 surgically controlled patients with systolic clicks. The recorded blood samples documented the click to be originated in the right atrium, at the site of the prolapsed anterior tricuspid leaflet in 1 case of heroin-induced tricuspid acute endocarditis. In the second patient suffering from aortic valve disease, an ejection click was recorded, and could be demonstrated by using EPD, to originate from the aortic leaflet at its time of maximal excursion. EPD apears to be a safe, noninvasive method to solve the problem of the origin of systolic clicks.

“…On two-dimensional echocardiography, prolapse is said to occur if the valve moves superior to the plane of the mitral valve annulus (an arbitrary boundary line drawn from the insertion of the posterior leaflet into the ventricular (AV groove) to where the anterior leaflet is continuous with the posterior root of the aorta). Either the mid-portions of the leaflets prolapse into the left atrium (67,68) or the mitral coaptation point may be displaced (53). A qualitative estimation of the severity of mitral valve prolapse is often done with two-dimensional echocardiography, based upon the amount of atrial displacement in time and space as well as secondary signs of mitral regurgitation: left atrial enlargement and a left ventricular volume overload pattern.…”

Echocardiographic evaluation of the mitral valve has attracted much attention and generated much discussion since its beginnings, some thirty years ago. Echocardiography affords the physician a detailed assessment of mitral valve integrity unequalled by any other non-invasive test. Aside from the normal appearance of the valve, a variety of pathological conditions have been studied in detail; mitral stenosis was the first and over the years the state-of-the-art has evolved from simply looking at the EF slope as an indicator of severity to the accurate quantification utilizing planimetry and 'pressure half-time.' Mitral regurgitation, although not as well quantified as mitral stenosis, can be detected and its etiology usually determined. Mitral valve prolapse may easily be overdiagnosed by echocardiography, however together with auscultation, ultrasound remains the best way to evaluate this common condition. Echocardiography is also invaluable in the evaluation of endocarditis and prosthetic mitral valves.

“…The development of MVP in cases with deformities of the thoracic spine and thorax has been reported in diseases other than PMD (Bon Temp et al, 1975;Gooch et al, 1972;Salmon et al, 1975;Scampardonis et al, 1973;Shutte et al, 1981;Udoshi et al, 1979), but there has been no established theory on the causal relationship between the two in these patients. Salmon et al (1975) have mentioned that the systemic abnormality in the connective tissue and the congenital mucoid degeneration of the valvular tissue are the causes of the combined development of the two.…”
