ABSTRACT
Primary mitral valve prolapse (MVP) or the disease known as MVP, consists of mixomatous
degeneration of the mitral valve with systolic displacement of a portion or all of one or
both mitral leaflets beyond mitral annulus into left atrium during systole, associated or
not with mitral insufficiency. Prevalence in Mexican population is <2%. MVP behavior is
benign unless associated with mitral insufficiency (MI, moderate-to-severe) or complications,
or is associated with other syndromes. The major clinical feature of mitral valve prolapse
syndrome is mid-to-late systolic clicks identified with auscultation of mitral valve.
Echocardiography is usually employed for diagnosis and management. Two-dimensional
echocardiography displays one or both leaflets prolapsing behind mitral annulus and
into left atrium in systole. In the majority of cases, MVP is harmless and does not
cause symptoms nor does it need to be treated. In a small number of cases, it can cause
severe mitral regurgitation and needs surgical treatment. Complications derived from MVP
must be treated independently.
Secondary MVP also consist of displacement of one or both valves toward atrium, but this
is due to pathologies such as rheumatic heart disease, ischemic heart disease, or others.
In these situations, treatment will be that of the underlying diseases.
