A member asked:
Can someone with mitral valve prolapse have normal bp and can the dr always detect it with stethoscope?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MV prolapse: yes, a person with mitral valve prolapse can have normal blood pressure. Depending on the degree/severity of the mitral valve prolapse, and the experience of the doctor, it may or may not be detectable with a stethoscope. An echocardiogram can diagnosis the severity of the mitral valve prolapse.

My doctor suspects I have Lupus and sent me for an echo. Results normal except for "anterior mitral valve leaflet is long and slightly thickened". No prolapse or regurgitation. What would cause long/thickened leaflet? Lupus or something else? Thanks?
