Functional state of sportsmen with mitral valve prolapse
Abstract:
The study covered functional peculiarities in 541 professional sportsmen. Mitral valve prolapse (in 132 examinees) appeared to be associated with reliably lower levels of reticulocytes, leucocytes, lymphocytes CD4+, immunoglobulines G, magnesium, and higher cortisol level, in comparison with the sportsmen having no mitral valve prolapse. The athletes with mitral valve prolapse demonstrated more frequent changes in ECG, reliably lower performance in treadmill test, slower recovery of heart rate after exertion is over.

Heart Valves
The AV valves prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria during ventricular contraction. These valves function with the assistance of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. When the ventricles are relaxed, the chordae tendineae are slack, allowing blood to flow from the atria into the...
