False-negative supine M-mode echocardiograms occur in some patients with proved mitral valve prolapse. To investigate further, we performed M-mode echocardiography (MME) during standing and after the inhalation of amyl nitrite in 17 patients (group 1) selected for auscultatory evidence of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) but negative supine MME. To validate the standing MME technique, eight patients with classic auscultatory MVP with positive supine MME for MVP (group 2) and 15 control subjects (group 3) were studied. Supine cross-sectional echocardiography (CSE) was compared to MME in all three groups. Standing MME elicited echocardiographic evidence of MVP in 14/17 (82 percent) of group 1--auscultatory evidence of MVP but negative supine MME; CSE demonstrated MVP in 8/13 (62 per cent) of the same patients. There was no clear advantage of the CSE long axis view over the CSE apical four chamber view in the diagnosis of MVP in these selected subjects; however, the two views were complementary. Amyl nitrite was ineffective in eliciting echocardiographic evidence of MVP. |
