Mitral valve prolapse and atrial septal aneurysm: an evaluation in the framingham heart study

Mitral valve prolapse and atrial septal aneurysms have been linked in previous studies. The results of this study demonstrate that atrial septal aneurysms, examined for the first time in a community-based sample, the Framingham Heart Study, occur with similar frequency in subjects with and without m...

The results of this study demonstrate that atrial septal aneurysms, examined for the first time in a community-based sample, the Framingham Heart Study, occur with similar frequency in subjects with and without mitral valve prolapse.
