  2. Mitral valve prolapse - Overview

    Verified Expert
    Also known as: click-murmur syndrome, carlow’s syndrome
    A condition in which the valve flaps of the mitral valve (a valve between the upper and lower chambers) do not close smoothly, instead tend to bulge (prolapse) upward into the left atrium during contraction.

    How common is condition?
    Very common (More than 3 million cases per year in US)
    Is condition treatable?
    Treatable by a medical professional
    Does diagnosis require lab test or imaging?
    Requires lab test or imaging
    Time taken for recovery
    Can last several years or be lifelong

    Causes

    Verified Expert

    • The blood flow between the upper chamber and the lower chamber is controlled by mitral valve in the left side of the heart. The condition occurs when the mitral valve does not close tightly. The causes include:
    • Abnormally stretchy valve leaflets as in myxomatous valve disease
    • Genetic condition
    • Other connective tissue diseases
    • Mitral valve prolapse can occur at any age and common risk factors include:
    • Family history - it is likely run in families
    • Marfan syndrome
    • Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
    • Ebstein anomaly
    • Muscular dystrophy
    • Graves' disease
    • Scoliosis

    Symptoms

    Verified Expert
    Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms.

    The condition may be asymptomatic for several years. The symptoms may vary from person to person and may develop gradually. Few signs and symptoms include:

    • Heart murmurs
    • Arrhythmia - irregular heart beat
    • Dizziness or lightheadedness
    • Difficulty in breathing especially during physical activity or when lying flat
    • Fatigue
    • Chest pain that is not as a result of a heart attack

    How is mitral valve prolapse detected?
    Mitral Valve Prolapse may be detected by listening with a stethoscope, revealing a "click" (created by the stretched flaps snapping against each other during contraction) and/or a murmur. The murmur is caused by some of the blood leaking back into the left atrium. The click or murmur may be the only clinical sign.

    Treatment

    Verified Expert

    Treatment involves medication to help manage symptoms or surgical procedure where mitral valve is repaired / replaced based on the severity.

    Medication

    Beta blockers: To prevent arrhythmias by reducing blood pressure and relaxing smooth muscles of blood vessels.

    Atenolol . Bisoprolol

    Anticoagulants: To reduce the risks of clot formation.

    Warfarin . Heparin

    Antiplatelet drugs: Prevent platelets from clumping together to form a clot.

    Aspirin

    Analgesics: To reduce chest pain.

    Ibuprofen

    Diagnosis

    Verified Expert
    One or more of these tests may be recommended by your medical provider.
    Diagnosis is made when a heart click sound or a heart murmur is found during the physical examination. The other tests are involved to check the severity of the condition.

    Common tests & procedures

    Physical examination: Done using a stethoscope, to detect murmurs.

    Echocardiogram: A non-invasive ultrasound evaluation of the heart valve characteristics, done to confirm diagnosis and determine the severity of the condition.

    X-ray: X- ray of the chest is taken to get picture of internal organs and detect if the heart is enlarged.

    Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG): A non-invasive test where probes are strategically placed on chest to record electrical impulses of the heart to detect the changes in heart rhythm.

    Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): MRI of the heart provides detailed images of the heart for further assessment of the condition.

    Coronary angiogram: A type of cardiac catheterization that uses X-ray imaging to see the heart’s blood vessels.

  2. Mitral valve prolapse is a heart condition where the flaps (leaflets) of the heart's mitral valve bulge (prolapse) into the heart's left upper chamber (left atrium) as the heart contracts12. This sometimes leads to blood leaking backward into the left atrium, a condition called mitral valve regurgitation1. Mitral valve prolapse is a common cause of a heart murmur caused by a "leaky" heart valve3. Most cases of mitral valve prolapse are not serious and only need to be monitored3.

    Mitral valve prolapse occurs when the flaps (leaflets) of the heart's mitral valve bulge (prolapse) like a parachute into the heart's left upper chamber (left atrium) as the heart contracts. Mitral (MY-trul) valve prolapse sometimes leads to blood leaking backward into the left atrium, a condition called mitral valve regurgitation.

    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 ...
