Mitral valve prolapse is a pathologic anatomic and physiologic abnormality of the mitral valve apparatus affecting mitral leaflet motion. "Mitral valve prolapse syndrome" is a term often used to describe a constellation of mitral valve prolapse and associated symptoms or other physical abnormalities
Symptoms of mitral valve prolapse syndrome, the most common valvular disorder, include anxiety, fatigue, palpitations, headaches, and chest pain, to name a few. This syndrome is effectively treated in a nurse-managed, outpatient clinic that specializes in the treatment of mitral valve prolapse
Although several investigations on mitral valve prolapse syndrome (MVPS) have been performed, clinical symptoms of this syndrome are not yet clarified. Atypical chest pain, palpitations, fatigue, dyspnea and anxiety are the most frequent symptoms associated with this syndrome. However, dizziness and
Symptoms of DaCosta's syndrome include effort fatigue and breathlessness, chest pain, palpitation, and dizziness. Considered purely functional and anxiety-related by DaCosta, the syndrome has since been related to the mitral valve prolapse (MVP) syndrome and autonomic hyperreactivity. We studied
Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) is a common cardiac disorder in our community. It is estimated that 4% to 15% of the general population have the anatomical defect of prolapsed mitral valve leaflets during ventricular systole. Patients with MVP that suffer from chest pain, dyspnea, fatigue, dizziness,
Although the systolic click was first mentioned in the medical literature in 1887, it was not until the investigations of John Barlow and his colleagues in the 1960s that it became linked to the mitral valve and mitral valve prolapse identified as the cause. Mitral valve prolapse is currently the
I studied the prevalence and symptoms of idiopathic mitral valve prolapse by auscultation in 972 consecutive patients in an adult general medical population. Forty-five patients (4.6%) had idiopathic mitral valve prolapse defined by a nonejection click with or without a late systolic murmur. The
It has been proposed that symptomatic mitral valve prolapse may be associated with a hyperadrenergic state and/or increased anxiety. To test this hypothesis, Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety (STAI) scores and 24-hour urinary catecholamine collections were gathered from 11 children and adolescents
Based on our experience and the experience of others, the following classification of patients with mitral valve prolapse has been proposed. Mitral valve prolapse - Anatomic includes patients with a wide spectrum of mitral valve abnormalities from mild to severe. Symptoms, physical findings and
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is due to a heterogeneous group of conditions that may affect the mitral valve or the mitral valve apparatus. Although MVP may progress later in life to frank mitral insufficiency requiring mitral valve repair or may predispose to bacterial endocarditis, in most cases it
Mitral valve prolapse syndrome, the most common valvular disorder, is associated with symptoms of anxiety, fatigue, palpitations, headaches, chest pain and more. Many non-drug interventions can be employed to alleviate symptoms.
The effects of a 12-week aerobic exercise training protocol on 32 symptomatic women with mitral valve prolapse were studied. Subjects were randomly assigned to control or exercise groups. Exercise subjects completed a 12-week (3 times per week) exercise training program based on guidelines
In symptomatic mitral valve prolapse patients (MVP): (1) the frequency and nature of symptoms were analyzed (n = 313); (2) metabolic studies were performed (n = 20), and (3) the response to isoproterenol infusions were studied (n = 16). Chest pain is more often the initial symptom in men;
Twenty-four-hour ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring was used to determine the incidence of arrhythmia while on-call and its relationship to stress and fatigue in 20 healthy medical interns. Mitral valve prolapse was present in 8 of 19 interns (42%). Heart rates ranged from a maximum of
The midsystolic click-late systolic murmur syndrome is a complex entity with variable manifestations that involves a primary process causing myxomatous degeneration of the mitral valve leaflet(s) and subsequent systolic mitral valve leaflet prolapse. Other cardiac diseases may cause mitral valve
