| mitral valve insufficiency | Backflow of blood from the left ventricle into the left atrium, owing to imperfect functioning of the mitral valve. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| mitral valve prolapse | <cardiology> A systolic click-murmur syndrome, floppy-valve syndrome and billowing mitral leaflet syndrome. A common, but highly variable (most individuals are asymptomatic), clinical syndrome that has been described in up to 7% of all females in the 14 to 30 age group. There is also an increased familial incidence suggesting an autosomal dominant form of inheritance. Treatment often includes the avoidance of stimulants (caffeine, nicotine, decongestants) and the use of a beta-blocker medication in select cases. Inheritance: autosomal dominant. Synonym:: Barlow's syndrome. (13 Nov 1997) |
| mitral valve prolapse syndrome | <syndrome> The clinical constellation of findings with or without symptoms due to prolapse of the mitral valve: a nonejection systolic click accentuated in the standing posture, sometimes multiple, sometimes with mitral regurgitation occurring relatively late in systole, and accompanied by echocardiographic evidence of the mitral valve prolapse, usually with thickened leaflets of the valve. Symptoms are non-specific and may include vague chest pains and dyspnea on exertion. Synonym: billowing mitral valve syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mitral valve stenosis | A rheumatic disease causing diffuse thickening of the mitral valve leaflets by fibrous tissue or calcific deposits. (harrisons' principles of internal medicine, 13th ed, p1052) (12 Dec 1998) |
| mitral valvotomy | Deliberate incision or enlargement by inserting a finger in the mitral valve due to mitral stenosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mitralization | Straightening of the left heart border on a chest radiograph due to prominence of the left atrial appendage or the pulmonary outflow tract; an unreliable indication of mitral valve disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mitramycin | An antibiotic produced by Streptomyces argillaceus and S. Tanashiensis; possesses antineoplastic activity. Synonym: aureolic acid, mitramycin. (05 Mar 2000) |

| mitral valve prolapse |
A disease of the mitral valve that occurs in three to eight percent of the population and that may cause chest discomfort, palpitations, shortness of breath, weakness and, more rarely, stroke. In severe cases, valve leakage may be evident to the degree that surgical repair is indicated. Often patients with MVP require premedication with antibiotics before procedures such as dental work or surgery.

A systolic click-murmur syndrome, floppy-valve syndrome. A common, but highly variable clinical syndrome that has been described in up to 7% of all females in the 14 to 30 age group. Usually there are no symptoms. Occasionally, the prolapse may cause chest pain, palpitations, labored breathing or fatigue.
