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.

Stroke in the young: infective endocarditis due to mitral valve prolapse leading to acute ischemic stroke and subsequent hemorrhagic transformation [PDF]
Background Stroke in young needs an individualized approach before considering thrombolysis. Here we present a case of undiagnosed mitral valve prolapse presenting with stroke due to associated infective endocarditis.

Genetics and pathophysiology of mitral valve prolapse
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common condition affecting 2–3% of the general population, and the most complex form of valve pathology, with a complication rate up to 10–15% per year in advanced stages.

Should mitral valve prolapse be considered as one of the risk factors for open angle glaucoma? A preliminary observation [PDF]
AIM: To assess the incidence of mitral valve prolapse in patients with newly diagnosed primary open angle glaucoma. METHODS: The study included 12 patients without any other comorbidities or taking any general or local medications. Each patient underwent

Replacement Myocardial Fibrosis in Patients With Mitral Valve Prolapse
Background: Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a frequent disease that can be complicated by mitral regurgitation (MR), heart failure, arterial embolism, rhythm disorders, and death.
