Sažetak
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a condition in which one or both mitral flaps of the mitral valve (MV) do not close smoothly or evenly, but instead bulge (prolapse) upward into the left atrium. It is relatively rare (frequency is 1- 2%), and the highest percentage of patients is asymptomatic. Only a small number of patients reported palpitations, anxiety, tiredness, and atypical chest pain. An echocardiogram is a “gold standard” in diagnosing this disease. Complications are rare, and the most common and most important is mitral regurgitation. Asymptomatic patients should not be treated. Symptomatic patients need to be closely monitored clinically and ultrasonically, and surgical reconstruction of valves is considered in patients with severe mitral regurgitation.
