Can anyone tell me anything about mitral valve prolapse?

MVP: Mvp is a condition where the collagen fibers of the mitral valve aren't laid down properly. It leads to breakdown of the valve. People with mvp are at higher risk for needing valve surgery at some point in their lives. It is usually managed with serial cardiac echo's every 6-12 months. People with mvp should follow with a cardiologist on a regular basis.

Abnormal valve: You want your valves to open and close like a simple door. With a prolapse, the valve is less like a door, & more flimsy, allowing it to bow in some after closing. Some people will leak some because of this distortion. This can be a trivial leak or a lot & the impact depends on how much.
