Abstract
- Patients with heritable aortic disease (HAD) have an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Although mitral valve prolapse is common in HAD, mitral annulus disjunction (MAD) has only recently been described in these patients. This under-recognized condition may be a contributing factor to otherwise unexplained ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in patients with HAD. This case series describes 3 patients in an adult HAD clinic who have concomitant mitral valve prolapse, MAD, and malignant arrhythmias. These cases may represent a unique disease entity or overlap syndrome, and they introduce MAD as a potential arrhythmogenic risk marker in HAD.
