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.

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 ...

Annual Review of Medicine, 2012
Mitral valve prolapse is defined as abnormal bulging of the mitral valve leaflets into the left atrium during ventricular systole. Mitral valve prolapse is a common condition that is a risk factor for mitral regurgitation, congestive heart failure, arrhythmia, and endocarditis. Myxomatous degeneration is the most common cause of mitral prolapse in the

Lancet, The, 2005
Mitral valve prolapse is a common valvular abnormality that is the most common cause of severe non-ischaemic mitral regurgitation in the USA. The overall prognosis of patients with mitral valve prolapse is excellent, but a small subset will develop serious complications, including infective endocarditis, sudden cardiac death, and severe mitral ...

Annual Review of Medicine, 1976
Mitral valve prolapse is a condition that is being recognized with increased frequency. It is not known whether its incidence is increasing, or whether we are better able to diagnose it today. In the idiopathic or familial variety, the mitral valve pathology is almost always that of myxomatous degeneration. Some authors have suggested the presence of a

ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC ASSESSMENT OF 537 DOGS WITH MITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE AND LEAFLET INVOLVEMENT
Veterinary Radiology and Ultrasound, 2009 In this work we investigated which mitral valve leaflet was most often involved in mitral valve prolapse with degenerative mitral valve disease and whether there was an association with breed, age, gender, or weight.

Angiology, 1984
Mitral valve prolapse is a very common condition. It occurs in 4-5% of the population. It may be idiopathic or associated with a number of other conditions. Myxomatous degeneration is the underlying mechanism of mitral valve prolapse. Most patients with mitral valve prolapse have no symptoms. When symptoms do occur, palpitations, chest pain and dyspnea

Mitral-Valve Repair for Mitral-Valve Prolapse
New England Journal of Medicine, 2009A 55-year-old man presents with a holosystolic murmur of increasing intensity and is given a diagnosis of mitral-valve prolapse with severe mitral regurgitation. He is asymptomatic but has mildly depressed left ventricular function and mild left ventricular enlargement. Mitral-valve repair is recommended.

Mitral valve prolapse and agoraphobia
American Journal of Psychiatry, 1983Of 46 female agoraphobic patients, three had definite and four had probable mitral valve prolapse--a total prevalence of only 15%. There were no significant differences between patients with mitral valve prolapse and the rest of the sample on demographic and clinical variables, nor did the groups differ significantly on measures of psychological ...

The genetics of mitral valve prolapse
Clinical Genetics, 2007Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a very common clinical condition that refers to a systolic billowing of one or both mitral valve leaflets into the left atrium. Improvements of echocardiographic techniques and new insights in mitral valve anatomy and physiology have rendered the diagnosis of this condition more accurate and reliable.
