Clinical Information

• A fairly common and often benign valvular heart disorder characterized by redundancy or hooding of mitral valve leaflets so that they prolapse into the left atrium, often causing mitral regurgitation. It is often a symptomless condition but may be marked by varied symptoms e.g. Chest pain, fatigue, dizziness, dyspnea, or palpitations) leading in some cases to endocarditis or ventricular tachycardia.

• Abnormal protrusion or billowing of one or both of the leaflets of mitral valve into the left atrium during systole. This allows the backflow of blood into left atrium leading to mitral valve insufficiency; systolic murmurs; or cardiac arrhythmia.

• Mitral valve prolapse mvp) occurs when one of your heart’s valves doesn’t work properly. Mvp is one of the more common heart valve conditions. Most often, it’s a lifelong condition that a person is born with. Most people with mvp have no symptoms or problems, need no treatment, and are able to lead normal, active lives. Mvp puts you at risk for infective endocarditis, a kind of heart infection. To prevent it, doctors used to prescribe antibiotics before dental work or certain surgeries. Now, only people at high risk of endocarditis need the antibiotics.if you need treatment for mvp, medicines can help relieve symptoms or prevent complications. Very few people will need surgery to repair or replace the mitral valve.

• Prolapse of the mitral valve, often with regurgitation, associated with myxomatous proliferation of the leaflets of the mitral valve.
