Question

Echocardiographic characteristics of mitral valve prolapsed include all the following EXCEPT:

A. Increased mitral valve annulus
B. Systolic bowing of the mitral valve toward the left atrium
C. Systolic doming of the leaflets
D. Thickened, redundant leaflets

Answer 1

Echocardiographic characteristics of mitral valve prolapse include increased mitral valve annulus, systolic bowing of the mitral valve toward the left atrium, and thickened, redundant leaflets. Systolic doming of the leaflets is not a characteristic of mitral valve prolapse.

Step-by-step explanation:

The echocardiographic characteristics of mitral valve prolapse include increased mitral valve annulus, systolic bowing of the mitral valve toward the left atrium, and thickened, redundant leaflets.

However, systolic doming of the leaflets is not a characteristic of mitral valve prolapse.
