BACKGROUND: Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is highly prevalent in Marfan syndrome (MFS), but its associations with significant valvular regurgitation, the need for mitral valve (MV) surgery or elective aortic root replacement, and the occurrence of aortic dissection in MFS are not fully elucidated. METHODS: Imaging, anthropometric, cardiovascular disease, and surgical data were compared in patients with and without MVP in a large, single-center MFS registry. RESULTS: Of 352 patients with MFS, MVP was present in 237 (67.3%) and was more common in women (73.3% versus 59.9%, CONCLUSIONS: MVP is highly prevalent in MFS and more likely to necessitate MV surgery compared with the general population, particularly among women. The associations of MV surgery with aortic root replacement and type B dissection indicate that MVP associated with the need for mitral surgery tracks with a more severe aortic phenotype in MFS.
