A 38-year-old female with a history of palpitations, premature ventricular contractions, and a systolic murmur collapsed suddenly and died. Post-mortem studies showed shortened chordae tendinae and myxomatous transformation of both mitral leaflets. As this syndrome becomes more clinically recognizable it appears that its benignancy is diminishing. Thus, it is felt that patients with findings of ventricular extrasystoles and a systolic murmur should have a careful cardiac evaluation to determine the presence of the floppy mitral valve or ballooning mitral leaflet syndrome and that appropriate measures for treatment be taken when necessary.
一名38岁女性，有心悸、室性早搏和收缩期杂音病史，突然晕倒并死亡。尸检研究显示腱索缩短以及二尖瓣叶黏液瘤样变性。随着这种综合征在临床上越来越容易识别，其良性特征似乎在减弱。因此，认为有室性早搏和收缩期杂音表现的患者应进行仔细的心脏评估，以确定是否存在二尖瓣脱垂或二尖瓣叶气球样变综合征，并在必要时采取适当的治疗措施。
