Abstract

To the Editor: The report by Nishimura et al. (November 21 issue)¹ that patients with mitral-valve prolapse whose echocardiographically determined left ventricular diastolic dimension was 60 mm or more were substantially more likely than patients with smaller ventricles to require mitral-valve replacement provides the first objective predictor of the most common complication of mitral-valve prolapse. Our own data support this observation. In our ongoing family study,² during a mean follow-up of 4.5 years, complications due to mitral regurgitation occurred in 6 of 10 (60 percent) probands with mitral-valve prolapse whose initial left ventricular dimension was 60 mm or more, as.
