Overview

Systematic review shows MVP has a prevalence of 5.4% in athletes, suggesting tailored surveillance for high-risk groups.

Key Points

  • MVP occurs in about 5.4% of athletes, indicating a similar prevalence to the general population.
  • Ventricular arrhythmias are more common than supraventricular ones, particularly with specific valve conditions.
  • Most athletes with MVP are asymptomatic, and adverse events remain rare during long-term follow-up.
  • Recognition of high-risk phenotypes is vital for effective monitoring and management in sports cardiology.
