ABSTRACT

Severe mitral regurgitation requiring surgery is the most common life-threatening complication of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and is due to progressive myxomatous change in the valve. The overall prognosis of patients with mitral valve prolapse is excellent, but a small subset will develop serious complications, including infective endocarditis, sudden cardiac death, and severe mitral regurgitation. Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) is the most frequently diagnosed cardiac valvular abnormality. It is a primary disorder with familial occurrence. MVP is a disease of the young with a significantly higher incidence in women compared to men. The most characteristic clinical finding is a midsystolic click and late systolic murmur detected on cardiac auscultation.
