1) Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) occurs when the mitral valve between the left upper and lower chambers of the heart does not close properly, causing the valve leaflets to bulge back into the atrium.
2) MVP is commonly diagnosed by listening for an extra heart sound (click or murmur) and is confirmed with echocardiography.
3) While many people with MVP are asymptomatic, some experience palpitations, chest pain, and fatigue. Treatment depends on symptoms but may include antibiotics before procedures to prevent endocarditis or beta-blockers for more severe symptoms.

Mitral valve prolapse is also known
as click-murmur syndrome, and a common heart disorder occurring in approximately 4-18% of the population. It comes when the valve between your heart’s left upper chamber and the left lower chamber doesn’t close properly. When the left ventricle contracts, the valve’s leaflets bulge upward or back into the atrium. What is the mitral valve you say??? The mitral valve is one of four heart valves, which receives fresh, oxygenated blood from the lungs, which pumps the blood out the body. HOW IS MVP DIAGNOSED? Most often by your doctor when listening to your heart with a stethoscope and hearing an extra click or murmer. It is confirmed through echocardiogram-a non- invasive test using sound waves to “see” inside the heart, or by ultrasound. Symptoms include palpitations, shortness of breath on exertion, chest pain that comes and goes for no apparent reason, panic attacks, unexplained fatigue and migraine headaches. BEFORE&AFTER SURGERY Mitral Valve Prolapse: Introduction A variable clinical syndrome that results from a diverse pathogenic mechanisms of one or more positions of mitral valve apparatus, valve leafelts, chordae tendinae, papillary muscle & valve annulus.
Many names: -Systolic click murmur syndrome -Barlow syndrome -Billowing mitral cusp syndrome -Myxomatous mitral valve syndrome -Floppy Valve syndrome -Redundant cusp syndrome Click Clickicon icontotoadd addpicture picture MVP can often be detected by a doctor during examination of the heart. MVP can be confirmed with an echocardiogram. The majority of patients with mitral valve prolapse have no symptoms, no problems and, therefore, need no treatment other than an annual or semi-annual follow-up exam. However, those who have leaky prolapsing valves need antibiotics to prevent infection of the valve (called encarditis) during certain surgical or dental procedures likely to cause bleeding. Typically, this involves one or two doses of an antibiotic -- i.e., oral amoxicillin and erythromycin as well as intramuscular or intravenous ampicillin, gentamycin, and vancomycin -- at the time of the procedure. Patients with more dramatic symptoms are sometimes given beta- blockers. such as atenolol (Tenormin), metoprolol (Lopressor), and propranolol (Inderal). Only in rare, serious cases is surgery Clinical Diagnosis o Symptoms -Atypical chest pain -Palpitations -Dyspnea -Fatigue -Syncope o Signs -Asthenic, low body weight -Normal blood pressure -Orthostatic hypotension -Straight back syndrome Auscultation Mid or late systolic click, heard over apex Pansystolic murmur present if associated with severemitral regurgitation Dynamic auscultation - Change in loudness as well as the time of occurrence of both click & murmur are diagnostic Disease course • General outcome is excellent, large group remain asymptomatic • Serious complications occur in 1/100 patient years • 4% died during 8yrs • Most of the risk factors were based on severity of MR, ejection fraction (>40mm), age (>50yrs) • Risk of development of IE is greater in men >50yrs Echocardiography -Confirmatory -Prolapse of mitral leaflet into left atrium -Thickening of mitral valve (>5mm)
Other diagnostic test -Stress scintigraphy -Differentiate MVP with IHD -Angiography
