Mitral Valve Prolapse
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Mitral valve prolapse is a condition in which the leaflets of this heart valve bulge into the atrium as they close. It is fairly common and, in most people, causes no problems.
Common symptoms: it often causes no discomfort; when symptoms do appear, they may include palpitations, fatigue, dizziness or, at times, a murmur detected on auscultation.
When to seek care? It is reasonable to have it checked if there are noticeable palpitations, shortness of breath or if a doctor has heard a murmur.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist is the one who evaluates the valve with heart studies and determines whether follow-up is needed; the vascular surgeon steps in only in specific situations. If you have questions after such a finding, discussing it with a cardiologist clarifies the picture.
