    Snippet: Bileaflet mitral valve prolapse (Bi-MVP) is associated with increased risk for cardiac arrest. We describe a patient who presented after a cardiac arrest with Bi-MVP and variants in Lamin A/C (LMNA) and the sodium channel alpha-subunit 5a (SCN5A). Genetic variants may be the culprit for arrhythmogenesis in Bi-MVP patients. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
