To test the hypothesis that mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a connective tissue disorder, we retrospectively analyzed M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiograms of young, asymptomatic MVP patients and control subjects. Specifically, we investigated left ventricular (LV), mitral annular, aortic annular,...
