MVP?: Mvp = mitral valve prolapse? This is when the thin "leaflets" of a heart valve protrudes backwards into the previous heart chamber. It should be seen on echocardiogram, but different interpreters have different levels for making the diagnosis. The echo from different angles may also show it better than others. The association with dysautonomia is less clear. Discuss with your heart doctor.
