Abstract
The prevalence of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) at birth was studied in 1,734 consecutive newborns without congenital structural heart disease. We have not identified any case of an unequivocal pattern of MVP using auscultatory and echocardiographic diagnostic criteria. Our data argue for the concept that MVP is an acquired disease.Entities:
