- Title
Echocardiographic Confirmation of Mitral Valve Prolapse: A New Finding on Radionuclide Ventriculography -- A Case Report.
- Authors
Fig, Lorraine M.; Mountz, James M.; Gross, Milton D.
- Abstract
A prominent filling defect was depicted on a radionucide ventriculogram in a patient with mitral regurgitation. This defect was later shown, by cardiac ultrasound, to he due to mitral valve prolapse into the left ventricle during diastole. This case illustrates that mitral valve prolapse should be added to the list of clinical entities that can result in an Intraventricular defect on a radionuclide ventriculogram.
