Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is usually regarded as a benign condition though the proportion of patients with a life-threatening arrhythmic MVP form remains undefined. Recently, an experts' consensus statement on arrhythmic MVP has proposed approaches for risk stratification across the spectrum of clinical manifestation. However, sudden cardiac death may be the first presentation, making clinicians focused to early unmasking this subset of asymptomatic patients. Growing evidence on the role of cardiac imaging in the in-deep stratification pathway has emerged in the last decade. Pathology findings have suggested the fibrosis of papillary muscles and inferobasal left ventricular wall as the malignant hallmark. Cardiac magnetic resonance, while of limited availability, allows the identification of this arrhythmogenic substrate. Therefore, speckle-tracking echocardiography may be a gateway to prompt referring patients to further advanced imaging investigation. Our review aims to summarize the phenotypic features linked to the arrhythmic risk and to propose an image-based algorithm intended to help stratifying asymptomatic MVP patients.
