Summary

This study will follow 90 people with mitral valve prolapse who are already scheduled for mitral valve surgery. Researchers will use heart scans and 7-day rhythm monitors before and 6 months after surgery to see if the procedure reduces dangerous heart rhythms and scarring. The goal is to better understand why some patients develop arrhythmias and how surgery might help.

What this could mean

What this could lead to: If successful, this study could reveal why some people with mitral valve prolapse develop dangerous heart rhythms, pointing toward better treatments or surgical timing.
What could go wrong: This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not test a new therapy, and results may not lead to immediate changes in care.
