Floppy Mitral Valve
Let's start by clarifying the term: a floppy mitral valve is a colloquial way of referring to mitral valve prolapse, in which this heart valve does not close firmly and one of its parts bulges slightly during the heartbeat.
How it presents: in many people it causes no discomfort, but sometimes it comes with palpitations, mild chest pain, fatigue, or a feeling of dizziness.
When is it worth getting checked? If you notice frequent irregular heartbeats, shortness of breath, or a murmur is detected, it is reasonable to look into it.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist evaluates how the valve works in adults, and the pediatric cardiologist when it is identified in childhood. If you have symptoms or a suspicion after a checkup, the advisable course is for a heart professional to evaluate your situation carefully.
