Contents: MVP - How the Symptoms May Interrelate Dietary Treatment of Mitral Valve Prolapse Summary MVP - How the Symptoms May Interrelate The chart below illustrates my view of how bacteria and nutritional deficiencies may both be factors that influence the course of mitral valve prolapse syndrome. I believe that if we consider the possibility that nutritional deficiencies, in some cases with an inherited component, are factors in MVP, then we can create a highly logical model of what may likely cause the condition. The chart below provides an example of how MVP and its corresponding symptoms can be linked to nutrition. It provides a logical reason of why MVP often, but not always runs in families, is linked to bacterial

Mitral Valve Prolapse The picture above shows the valves of a normal heart. In the "systole" picture in the upper right corner notice how the ends of the valve meet perfectly to close off the flow of blood. Then, in the picture below, notice how in Mitral Valve Prolapse, the ends of the valve do not quite come together, allowing a leakage of blood back into the chamber of the heart. DEFINITION OF MVP: A fairly common and often benign disorder in which a slight deformity of the mitral valve (situated in the left side of the heart) can produce a degree of leakage (mitral insufficiency). Mitral valve prolapse causes a characteristic heart murmur that may be heard through a stethoscope. Often no symptoms are present and the condition may be discovered on a routine examination. On the other hand, there are many who experience the following symptoms : Chest pain (sharp, dull or pressing). Fatigue, shortness of breath. Dizziness. Anxiety. Lightheadedness when getting up from a chair or bed. Palpitations.

Common Heart Problems Health Information Heart Care How Your Heart Works Reducing Your Risk Factors Common Heart Problems Non-Invasive Diagnostics ... Glossary Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome What is a Syndrome? Syndrome is a name for a group of symptoms that happen together. A group of symptoms may collectively indicate a particular condition. If you experience several or more of the symptoms associated with mitral valve prolapse, you may have the Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome. What is the Cause of the Syndrome? The exact cause of the syndrome is still unclear to researchers, but studies indicate that the mitral valve prolapse syndrome is associated with a slight imbalance of the Autonomic Nervous System, called Dysautonomia. What is the Autonomic Nervous System and Dysautonomia? The autonomic nervous system is very complex. It is our "automatic" or "unconscious" nervous system, and it controls and affects most, if not all, of our body functions and systems such as our heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, sweating, gastrointestinal motility and secretions, digestion, sexual reflexes, to name a few. The autonomic nervous system has two divisions: the Sympathetic nervous system and the Parasympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system tends to increase and accelerate our body functions. The parasympathetic nervous system tends to relax and slow things down. These two divisions of the autonomic nervous system work together maintaining a continuous, fine-tuned balance of our body functions.

But researchers into this problem understand the connection is actually a dysfunction in the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). The ANS controls the involuntary system of the body such as heart beat, blood pressure, body temperature, intestinal functions, sweating, etc. The system is made of two parts: the sympathetic (the "accelerator") and the parasympathetic (the "brakes"). When these two are out of balance or goes awry, it is described as dysautonomia. There are many types of dysautonomia, but it is "Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome/Dysautonomia" that we discuss here. The name seems to indicate maybe the problem is with MVP when actually MVP is just one of the myriad of symptoms of MVP SYNDROME/DYSAUTONOMIA.
