• Complications of mitral valve prolapse(MVP), among which serious ventricular arrhythmia and sudden death are of major importance, affect many individuals due to the high incidence of MVP itself in the community despite the actual low incidence of these complications. The present study investigated the incidence and distribution of ventricular arrhythmias according to their severity and relationship with the QT interval and dispersion of repolarization in uncomplicated isolated MVP(IMVP)cases. Fifty-eight uncomplicated IMVP patients, 33 patients with accompanying tricuspid valve prolapse(TVP), to compare its relationship with ventricular arrhythmia, and 60 age- and sex-matched control subjects were enrolled in the study. Individuals with accompanying cardiac or systemic disease, or who were on drug therapy that could potentially affect QT characteristics, were excluded. The incidence of ventricular arrhythmia was 48% in the IMVP group and 64% in the TVP group; the difference was statistically insignificant. In addition, the differences of the QT and Q peak T values were insignificant, whereas QT dispersion(QTd) and Q peak T dispersion(QpeakTd) values were significantly higher in the patient group(60±14, 54±14 ms, respectively)compared with the control group(42±10, 38±10 ms, respectively, p<0.001). Complex ventricular arrhythmias(Lown Grade≥III)in the IMVP group had a significant relationship with QTd and QpeakTd(p<0.001), but not with QT or QpeakT. As a result of the study, it is concluded that TVP accompanying MVP does not increase the incidence of ventricular arrhythmia, that ventricular arrhythmia is related to QT dispersion rather than QT interval in IMVP, that the QT dispersion is a fairly good marker for identifying the high-risk group for serious ventricular arrhythmia and sudden death, and that QpeakT dispersion measurement is an additional indicator that could be an alternative when QT is difficult to determine in conditions such as high heart rate or the presence of U wave.
