Mitral valve prolapse from childhood to adulthood: morphologic characteristics and mitral regurgitation development. A single-centre echocardiographic study
MVP-related structural changes remain morphometrically stable when indexed for growth, yet MR severity can worsen due to a combination of morphological alterations. MAD can be identified in paediatric patients and may develop over time. These findings support the view that MVP may encompass different phenotypes and potentially represent a form of cardiomyopathy.
