The authors report the case of a female aged 40 who was subject to syncopal attacks, and had an apical end-systolic murmur. The presence of an idiopathic prolapse of the mitral valve was demonstrated, as well as the familial nature of the condition, and the fact that the syncopal attacks were caused by ventricular tachycardia, The case report is followed by a discussion of the cardiac arrhythmias which are likely to accompany this particular mitral lesion, the difficulties in treatment which arise, and finally the danger of sudden death by ventricular fibrillation inherent in this condition, a danger which it is stille difficult to quantify.
作者报告了一例40岁女性病例，该患者有晕厥发作，心尖部收缩末期杂音。已证实存在特发性二尖瓣脱垂，以及该病症的家族性，且晕厥发作是由室性心动过速引起的。病例报告之后讨论了可能伴随这种特殊二尖瓣病变的心律失常、出现的治疗困难，以及最后这种病症固有的室颤猝死危险，而这种危险仍难以量化。
