Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome (MVPS) involves symptoms like chest pain and anxiety. Management includes education, lifestyle changes, and physician reassurance, with medication as an option.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) affects 4-15% of the population, characterized by prolapsed mitral valve leaflets.
  • Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome (MVPS) is diagnosed in patients with MVP experiencing symptoms like chest pain, dyspnea, and arrhythmias.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the controversial causes of MVPS symptomatology.
  • To outline appropriate management strategies for MVPS patients.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on MVPS etiology and treatment.
  • Analysis of proposed causes including autonomic dysfunction and adrenergic/vagal responsiveness.

Main Results:

  • Autonomic dysfunction and altered adrenergic/vagal responsiveness are potential explanations for MVPS symptoms.

  • Treatment options include pharmacological therapy, patient education, lifestyle modifications, and physician reassurance.

    • Conclusions:

    • MVPS management requires a comprehensive approach addressing symptom etiology.
    • Patient education and lifestyle adjustments are crucial components of effective MVPS care.
