Mitral annular disjunction and Pickelhaube sign in children with mitral valve prolapse: A prospective cohort study

CONCLUSIONS: MAD is common in children with MVP; its presence was not associated with significant VAs on 24-hour Holter monitoring, but the Pickelhaube sign and presence of myxomatous mitral valve may help to detect patients prone to significant VAs. Myocardial fibrosis can be detected by cardiac magnetic resonance in children with significant VAs.PMID:37775440 | DOI:10.1016/j.acvd.2023.08.004
