- Pain
Boils and carbuncles are generally inflamed, painful lumps. Compared with acne, boils are generally more painful, inflamed, and reddened around the border. Diagnosis Skin abscesses, boils, and related conditions are diagnosed by visual inspection. [livingnaturally.com]
Sharp chest pains, which can be prolonged. Unlike angina and chest pain, rarely, mitral valve prolapse occurs during or after exercise ,and may not respond to nitroglycerin. [medicinenet.com]
Symptoms Some of the symptoms of a mitral valve prolapse can include heart palpitations, shortness of breath, tiredness, and chest pains not related to other heart conditions. [medicalnewstoday.com]
Symptoms of mitral valve prolapse The phrase mitral valve prolapse sounds frightening, as if it would be extremely painful, but it is important to understand that it can sound more painful than it actually is for some people. [belmarrahealth.com]
Rarely: atypical chest pain and anxiety In case of complications: fatigue, dyspnea, syncope, and palpitations (see “Complications” below) Auscultatory findings Mitral valve prolapse click : high-frequency, midsystolic click that is best heard at the mitral [amboss.com]
- Asymptomatic
Although MVP is typically asymptomatic, symptoms (eg., palpitations, fatigue, dyspnea ) may arise, especially if associated with MR. A mitral prolapse click is a classic auscultatory finding MVP and diagnosis is made with echocardiography. [amboss.com]
Asymptomatic patients with minimal disease can be reassured regarding the benign nature of their condition. [patient.info]
Abstract Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is usually asymptomatic, but can be associated with complications such as infective endocarditis, mitral regurgitation, thromboembolism and sudden cardiac death. [ijpmonline.org]
There do not presently seem to be indicators of an impending need for mitral valve repair. 2) Consideration of MV repair in an asymptomatic patient requires severe regurgitation. [texasheart.org]
Signs and Symptoms Most patients asymptomatic Chest pain (usually atypical) Dyspnea, palpitations, arrhythmias, dizziness, syncope Complications Progressive mitral regurgitation Infective endocarditis Embolic events (transient ischemic attacks, cerebrovascular [echocardiology.org]
- Fever
fever in its first episode can never cause stenosis however fulminant the fever may be .There is no acute mitral stenosis .But, during recurrence and reactivation some amount of stenotic process may occur. [drsvenkatesan.com]
Q: How does rheumatic fever affect the mitral valve? A: Rheumatic fever is a complication of untreated strep throat and was once a common childhood illness in the United States. Rheumatic fever can damage the mitral valve in two main ways. [columbiasurgery.org]
Rheumatic fever, since the advent of routine penicillin administration for Strep throat, has become less common in developed countries. [en.wikipedia.org]
Call your doctor if you have symptoms of an infection (sore throat, general body achiness, and fever). Colds and flus do not cause endocarditis. But, infections, which may have the same symptoms, do. So, to be safe, call your doctor. [my.clevelandclinic.org]
There was no history suggestive of rheumatic fever in early childhood. [casereports.in]
- Collapse
When the heart pumps (contracts) part of one or both flaps collapse backward into the left atrium. In some cases, the prolapsed valve lets a small amount of blood leak backward through the valve, which may cause a heart murmur. [heart.org]
Clinical examination revealed high volume non-collapsing pulse, cardiomegaly with ill sustained apex, non-ejection click and a late systolic murmur grade III/VI accentuated with standing and Valsalva maneuverer. [casereports.in]
Chad Schieber, a 35-year-old otherwise healthy man, and Rachael Townsend, 29, a physically fit young woman, both collapsed and died during this marathon in 2007 and 2003 respectively. 13 Both participants were found to have mitral valve prolapse, generating [acc.org]
Fire fighters entered the structure to find moderate heat conditions, zero visibility, and a collapsed floor. They began fire extinguishment without success and backed out of the structure. Aerial 9 ventilated the roof. [cdc.gov]
- Weakness
This rare entity teaches us myxomatous degeneration can make the bellies of the leaflet so weak that such a huge prolapse can happen with intact chordae and it reminds us the age old teaching: always try to repair the valve, not to replace it. [casereports.in]
If regurgitation continues for too long, the heart may be too weak to undergo surgery. Surgical treatment for MVP may involve either mitral valve repair or replacement. [primehealthchannel.com]
However, due to methodological weakness of this research, further evidence is needed to confirm these results. Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to bitter orange or any members of the Rutaceae family. [livingnaturally.com]
There is only a weak relationship between MVP and stroke. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Respiratoric
- Dyspnea
Although MVP is typically asymptomatic, symptoms (eg., palpitations, fatigue, dyspnea ) may arise, especially if associated with MR. A mitral prolapse click is a classic auscultatory finding MVP and diagnosis is made with echocardiography. [amboss.com]
Patients with sudden worsening of the mitral regurgitation owing to chordal rupture or with the onset of atrial fibrillation may have an abrupt onset of dyspnea and exercise intolerance Diagnosis Non ejection systolic click of the mitral valve and a [pathologyoutlines.com]
Post-procedure, there was no residual mitral regurgitation as revealed by echocardiography, patients dyspnea abated and there was perfect apposition of both leaflets. [casereports.in]
MVP is usually asymptomatic in the absence of significant regurgitation, although there are reports that some patients experience chest pain, dyspnea, dizziness, and palpitations. [msdmanuals.com]
It may be associated with atypical chest pain, dyspnea, fatigue or psychiatric symptoms like depression, anxiety etc. Patients have an increased risk of infective endocarditis, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias and sudden death. [histopathology-india.net]

Prognosis is excellent in the absence of significant regurgitation, but chordal rupture and endocarditis may occur. No specific treatment is necessary unless significant mitral regurgitation is present. [msdmanuals.com]
Complications and prognosis [ 2 ] Anterior leaflet mitral valve repair is associated with a higher risk for re-operation than posterior leaflet repair.The overall prognosis is excellent for most patients with MVP, with an expected lifespan similar to [patient.info]
The majority of people with mitral valve prolapse have an excellent prognosis and need no treatment. For these individuals, routine examinations including echocardiograms every few years may suffice. [medicinenet.com]
Patients with few or no symptoms and mild MVP should be reassured of their benign prognosis. [aafp.org]
