The authors found that¶• prevalence of mitral valve prolapes in an average population is 2–3% (1.3% for classic prolapse), without age or sex preponderance;¶• the rate of cerebrovascular insults, congestive heart failure, and atrial fibrillation of patients with prolapse does not exceed that of the rest of the population; however, mitral insufficiency is more frequent;¶• young patients with a history of cerebrovascular insult do not have higher mitral valve prolapse rates than young patients without previous insult.
