TI  - Ultrasono-cardiographic diagnosis of the prolapsed mitral valve.
PG  - 175-92
AB  - The characteristic ultrasono-cardiographic (UCG) findings of prolapsed mitral 
      valve were studied in 9 cases by means of ultrasonocardiotomography (UCT). The 
      changes in degree and shape of the prolapsed valve were examined and the leaflet 
      involved was identified. Of the 9 cases, 5 had prolapse of anterior, 3 had that 
      of posterior leaflet and 1 had both. In all cases with midsystolic click and late 
      systolic murmur or pansystolic murmur with late systolic accentuation, the 
      prolapse of anterior leaflet was observed on UCT, and though UCG disclosed 
      midsystolic buckling it was difficult to determine the exact timing of the 
      prolapse by UCG alone. In the cases with rheumatic mitral regurgitation, the 
      prolapse of posterior leaflet and the ballooning of anterior leaflet could easily 
      be found on UCT, but the detection of the above-mentioned 2 findings was 
      difficult by UCG alone. Three of the 9 cases were found to have prolapse of 
      posterior leaflet by left ventriculography, whereas these 3 had prolapse of 
      anterior leaflet on UCT. Hence, the diagnosis of prolapsed mitral valve based on 
      the cineangiography may require re-evaluation.
