Detailed explanation-1: -Disease definition. A rare, congenital, non-syndromic heart malformation characterized by a slit-like hole or defect in one of the mitral valve leaflets, which is usually thickened and distorted.
Detailed explanation-2: -A mid-systolic click is a diagnostic of MVP. The handgrip maneuver increases the murmur of MVP and decreases murmur of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The handgrip maneuver also decreases the duration of the murmur and delays the timing of the mid-systolic click in MVP.
Detailed explanation-3: -The three corresponding segments of the anterior leaflet are A1 (anterior segment), A2 (middle segment), and A3 (posterior segment)1 . This nomenclature is an important tool to describe specific anatomic segmental anatomy between echocardiographer and surgeon.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) can be categorized into primary or nonsyndromic MVP and secondary or syndromic MVP.
