The presence of mitral valve prolapse in 2 of 3 patients with pseudoxanthoma elasticum confirms this frequent association. However, the most interesting finding was that 2 of 5 apparently unaffected subjects also had mitral valve prolapse, suggesting that relatives of pseudoxanthoma elasticum patients should be screened for cardiovascular disorders.

Abstract
The presence of mitral valve prolapse in 2 of 3 patients with pseudoxanthoma elasticum confirms this frequent association. However, the most interesting finding was that 2 of 5 apparently unaffected subjects also had mitral valve prolapse, suggesting that relatives of pseudoxanthoma elasticum patients should be screened for cardiovascular disorders.
