BARLOW DISEASE OR SYNDROME ?
Prof. John Barlow (Fig. 1) gained his place amongst the giants of Cardiology because of his discovery of the mechanism of the mitral valve failure that became known as the Barlow Syndrome. There is great confusion amongst the cardiological fraternity about syndrome, disease and prolapse. Although Prof. Barlow was one of the first to characterize mitral valve prolapse, his real contribution was in deciphering “The significance of late systolic murmurs and mid-late systolic clicks”. He attributed these sounds to the mitral valve mechanism. Prior to that, they were thought to be of extra-cardiac origin, including pericardial adhesions.
