Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Mitral valve prolapse syndrome occurs when one of the heart's valves, the mitral valve, does not close quite properly and one of its leaflets bulges toward the atrium during the heartbeat. In many people it is a mild and well-tolerated condition.
Possible symptoms: it often causes no discomfort, but some people report palpitations, chest pain, tiredness, or a feeling of dizziness.
When to get checked? If frequent palpitations, shortness of breath, or a murmur detected on examination appear, it is worth studying.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist evaluates the function of the valve in adults, and the pediatric cardiologist when it is detected in children. If you have noticed these symptoms, it is advisable for a heart professional to calmly evaluate your case.
