Mitral Valve Prolapse Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is the most common condition of the heart valves. Some studies show it affects 6% of all women. Incidence MVP is extremely interesting since it is so commonly diagnosed in young women and yet, the incidence decreases markedly in elder women. This drop off in incidence is not seen in the male population (refer to graph below). The occurrence of MVP in men is consistent in both young and old populations. Previous to the Framingham study, the incidence of MVP was thought to be much higher in women, however, with this new data, it is now believed that MVP affects equal numbers of men and women. This intrigues researchers searching for the cause(s) of mitral valve disease and attempting to explain why the condition manifests itself so differently in men and women. The cause of MVP is usually unknown but occassionally, MVP is associated with other heart conditions (e.g. atrial septal defect, coronary artery disease, diseases of the heart muscle) but most likely, these diseases would have been present with or without MVP. The outcome from MVP differs for men and women too. Recent studies have indicated that, for men, the incidence of mitral prolapse requiring surgical intervention is higher than for women and increases with age.

For more information on valve disease and its treatment, see Valve Disease normal mitral valve mitral valve prolapse What is mitral valve prolapse? Mitral valve prolapse is a type of myxomatous valve disease . The tissue of the mitral valve leaflets and chordae are abnormally stretchy, so that as the heart beats, the mitral valve bows or flops back into the left atrium. Those with mitral valve prolapse may not have any regurgitation (leaky valve) or they may have a range of severity from a mild leak to a very floppy, leaky valve. The majority of people have no leak or a mild leak. In this case, MVP is not a cause for concern.

Information About Common Heart Diseases Mitral Valve Prolapse What is mitral valve prolapse? Mitral valve prolapse is a mild deformity of one of the valves in your heart. The heart valves control the blood flowing through your heart. A deformity in the mitral valve can sometimes allow blood to flow backward in your heart. Most of the time, however, mitral valve prolapse causes no symptoms and no problems. Other names for mitral valve prolapse are click-murmur syndrome and floppy-valve syndrome. How does it occur? The heart valves are made up of flaps called leaflets that open and close. In mitral valve prolapse one or both of the leaflets bulge out (prolapse) into the upper left chamber of the heart. This may keep the leaflets from closing well and may permit some blood to leak backward. The cause of mitral valve prolapse is not known; however, it is thought to be inherited. Many people are born with it. It is found in 1 in 10 Americans. It is most often discovered in young to middle-aged women. It is more common in women with certain skeletal problems such as scoliosis, a deformity in which the spine curves to one side.

How the Heart Works Facts on Heart Disease Healthy Heart Lifestyle Mitral Valve Prolapse The mitral valve is the heart valve between the left atrium and left ventricle. It has two flaps or cusps. In mitral valve prolapse (MVP), one or both mitral valve flaps are enlarged and some of their supporting "strings" may be too long. When the heart contracts or pumps, the mitral valve flaps do not close smoothly or evenly. Instead, part of one or both flaps collapses backward into the left atrium. This sometimes allows a small amount of blood to leak backward through the valve and may cause a heart murmur. Mitral valve prolapse is also known as click-murmur syndrome, Barlow's syndrome, balloon mitral valve and floppy valve syndrome. The majority of patients with mitral valve prolapse have no symptoms, will have no problems and, therefore, will need no treatment. However, those who have leaky or regurgitant prolapsing valves will need antibiotics to prevent infection (endocarditis) of the valve during certain surgical or dental procedures that are likely to cause bleeding. In addition, medicine may be used in a small number of MVP patients with chest pain, angina pectoris or abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmia's). See American Heart Association for more information on Mitral Valve Prolapse.
