Floppy mitral valve, mitral valve prolapse, and mitral valvular regurgitation
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2001It is well recognized that the floppy mitral valve (FMV) complex is the central issue in the FMV, mitral valve prolapse (MVP), and mitral valvular regurgitation (MVR) story. MVP associated with the FMV results from the systolic movement of portions or segments of the FMV complex into the left atrium (LA).

Mitral valve prolapse, diagnosed by auscultation of typical midsystolic clicks and late systolic murmurs or by echocardiographic demonstration of definite systolic protrusion of the mitral leaflets into the left atrium, is the commonest human abnormality of heart valves, affecting roughly 4 per cent of the population.

Transcatheter mitral valve repair - transcatheter mitral valve annuloplasty
EuroIntervention, 2014Percutaneous mitral valve therapies have emerged as an alternative option for high-risk patients with mitral regurgitation. Multiple technologies and diversified approaches are today under clinical study or in development and they can be categorised based on the anatomically and pathophysiologically addressed target.

Annual Review of Medicine, 1987
Mitral valve prolapse continues to arouse considerable interest because of its worldwide prevalence, lack of unanimity in diagnostic criteria, and association with such potentially serious complications as angina-like chest pain, cardiac arrhythmias, sudden death, progressive mitral regurgitation, cerebral embolism, and infective endocarditis.

Current Cardiology Reports, 2019
This review describes numerous pathologic entities that cause structural abnormalities of the mitral valve. Different pathologic entities involve different components of the so-called mitral apparatus: atrial wall, annulus, leaflets, chordae, papillary muscles, and/or left ventricular free wall.

The most common valvular disorder in the United States was identified only 20 years ago. Characterized by nonexertional chest pain, dyspnea, fatigue, and psychiatric disturbances, it can often be diagnosed by stethoscope. In some cases, various cardiographic and visualization techniques may be necessary.

Modern repair techniques allow reconstruction rather than replacement of the mitral valve (MV) in the majority of patients requiring operation. Such patients are now older and more likely to have nonrheumatic MV disease than those treated in former years.

Current Problems in Cardiology, 1984
The mitral apparatus is a complex structure composed of several components, each of which can be affected by a variety of diseases, resulting in mitral regurgitation. The physiologic consequences of mitral regurgitation include reduced forward stroke volume; increased left atrial volume and pressure; and reduced resistance to left ventricular ejection.

Journal of American College Health Association, 1980
Abstract Mitral valve prolapse is the most common heart disease seen in college and university health services. It underlies most arrhythmia and many chest pain complaints. Auscultatory findings vary; only 60% have the click, only 48% have the murmur, and in half of those with murmur, it was heard better at the upper-left sternal border than at the ...
