Abstract:
Among 2485 patients with cardiovascular pathology observed by the authors in the course of 3 years, 8 patients displayed the mitral valve prolapsus syndrome due to the presence of a late systolic murmur or extratone (nonejection systolic click). In 5 patients the diagnosis was supported by echocardiography. In 3 patients, aged 58 to 77 years different forms of the ischaemic heart disease were diagnosed. In the remaining 5 younger patients (24 to 35 years) the etiology of the mitral valve prolapsus syndrome was not established. Their clinical manifestations consisted in complaints of cardiac pains not connected with physical exercises, extrasystole, fatigue, neurotic behaviour.
