The prevalence of mitral valvar prolapse has been reported to be between 0.6 and 21%. The goal of our study was to evaluate its prevalence in young athletes who underwent hand-held echocardiography as a screening mostly in southern California.
We retrospectively analyzed 1742 echocardiograms that were performed as a part of a cardiac screening of teenage athletes. The total prevalence of mitral valvar prolapse was calculated and stratified based on gender.
We screened a total of 1172 male and 570 female high school athletes. The echocardiographic prevalence of mitral valvar prolapse was 0.9%. The prevalence was similar in both genders, at 1.2% in male and 0.7% in female athletes.
The prevalence of mitral valvar prolapse in young athletes mostly in southern California was found to be less than 1%, and was similar in both genders.
据报道,二尖瓣脱垂的患病率在0.6%至21%之间。我们研究的目的是评估在南加州主要接受手持超声心动图筛查的年轻运动员中其患病率。
我们回顾性分析了作为青少年运动员心脏筛查一部分而进行的1742份超声心动图。计算二尖瓣脱垂的总患病率,并按性别分层。
我们共筛查了1172名男性和570名女性高中运动员。二尖瓣脱垂的超声心动图患病率为0.9%。男女患病率相似,男性运动员为1.2%,女性运动员为0.7%。
发现在南加州主要的年轻运动员中二尖瓣脱垂的患病率低于1%,且男女患病率相似。
