A member asked:
Is it possible for mitral valve prolapse to occur suddenly in a young adult?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Intermittent: MVP is dependent on loading conditions - thus it can be intermittent. In that regard, it could happen "suddenly" and disappear just as suddenly. Note that MVP is a variant of normal but presents a spectrum of severity, usually mild but rarely severe. Unless there is a chordal rupture, it generally doesn't cause symptoms.
