Abstract

The association of joint laxity and mitral valve prolapse (MVP) has been disputed. In this study of an Arab population, the joint mobility scores of 29 subjects with MVP, 10 of whom were asymptomatic, were compared to 60 normal controls. It was found that the joint mobility score was significantly higher in both the asymptomatic and the symptomatic subjects with MVP when compared to the controls. This suggests that both mitral valve prolapse and joint laxity may be due to the same abnormality of connective tissue structure.

摘要

关节松弛与二尖瓣脱垂（MVP）之间的关联一直存在争议。在这项针对阿拉伯人群的研究中，对29名患有MVP的受试者（其中10名无症状）的关节活动度评分与60名正常对照者进行了比较。结果发现，与对照组相比，无症状和有症状的MVP受试者的关节活动度评分均显著更高。这表明二尖瓣脱垂和关节松弛可能都是由于结缔组织结构的相同异常所致。
