Overview

Understanding mitral valve prolapse.

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) affects 2-3% of the population. While most cases are benign, a subset develops significant mitral regurgitation requiring surgical intervention. The hallmark is billowing of one or both valve leaflets into the left atrium during systole.

Why It Matters

Why you need a second opinion.

The spectrum of MVP ranges from benign to complex Barlow's disease requiring extensive valve reconstruction. Determining when MVP has progressed to the point of requiring surgery — and whether repair is feasible — requires specialized expertise. At expert reference centers, repair rates for complex MVP exceed 95%.
