A member asked:

Whether there is any relation between mvp(thickened leaflets) and patient's height?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Generally no: There's generally no relation, but people with marfan's syndrome who are often tall have a higher incidence of mvp. Otherwise, no relation.

Dr Pizzo and 3 doctors agreed
