Barlow Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Barlow syndrome, also known as mitral valve prolapse, occurs when one of the heart's valves does not close completely evenly and its leaflets bulge slightly toward the atrium during the heartbeat.
Which specialist treats it? Its evaluation falls to the cardiologist, and when there is an impact on circulation, the opinion of vascular surgery may be added for a comprehensive study.
Common symptoms: In many people it goes unnoticed. Others describe palpitations, a feeling of irregular heartbeats, mild chest discomfort, or tiredness with no apparent cause.
When to seek care? It is worth seeking guidance if persistent palpitations, dizziness, or shortness of breath appear, since only a professional evaluation, with heart studies, can clarify its extent and provide the follow-up each case needs.
