Tissue Doppler echocardiography reveals insufficient contractile reserve recruitment during effort in subjects with mitral valve prolapse and those with thick mitral valve.

OBJECTIVE: To assess by tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDE), the tissue velocities, both at rest and after exercise stress testing, in subjects with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and those with thick mitral valve (TMV). METHODS: Twenty individuals with typical MVP, 30 with TMV, and 30 healthy contro...
