Abstract

The present case-control study provides evidence that the correlation between mitral valve prolapse and the clinical observation of low blood pressure persists throughout a 24-hour period as documented by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Moreover, the blood pressure circadian rhythm, even though preserved, seems to follow a different course over the 24-hour period in subjects with mitral valve prolapse.
