Cerebral Ischemic Events After Diagnosis of Mitral Valve Prolapse
Stroke 34:1339-1345, Avierinos,J.,et al, 2003
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In the community, subjects with MVP display a lifetime excess rate of INE compared with expected. Clinical (older age) and echocardiographic (leaflets thickening) characteristics define patients with MVP at high risk for INE, and subsequent AFib or need for cardiac surgery, both related to the degree of mitral regurgitation, increase the risk of INE.
