Abstract
Malignant ventricular arrhythmias may occur in patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP). In the MVP syndrome, particular myocardial structures are prone to develop replacement fibrosis, which creates a substrate for reentrant ventricular tachycardia (VT). Knowledge of these patterns of fibrosis may assist in mapping and ablation of VT in patients with MVP.
