The beginning of the article states that MVP was formerly diagnosed in up to 38% of teenage males, but in another part of the article, states 38% of females. Which is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.10.168.247 ( talk) 03:35, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
As per the review article I just added to the references section of this article, a lot of the information in this article is incorrect. Not the fault of the authors -- Mitral valve prolapse was an over-diagnosed entity that a lot of symptoms were related to, that haven't held up under closer scrutiny. Ksheka 02:30, Apr 23, 2004 (UTC)
Can anybody find sources for this: For unknown reasons, MVP patients tend to have a low body mass index (BMI) and are typically leaner than individuals without MVP.?-- AAAAA 01:37, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
I'd like to add this external link which provides information written at the appropriate level for the general public.
I would like to add an external link to http://www.mitralvalverepair.org. A site with extensive information on disorders of the mitral valve, as well as treatment options. Gsims01 20:03, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Would you have a look at http://www.touchcardiology.com/mitral_valve_prolapse.cfm and see if this site could be added as an external link. It aims to inform physicians and patients about the latest in MVP treatments and procedures. Mergneed 14:20, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
I would like to include the following link: http://www.mitral.com/mvpcenter.htm The site is run by leading cardiologists in Florida and contains a wealth of information.
I understand this is done via an echocardiogram. How it's done could be explained in the article. I don't think it would be complete without it.
Also, how is regurgitation measured? This would also be a worthwhile addition which would help round out the article. Brian Pearson 04:04, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
The echocardiogram has a Doppler mode that measures the speed of the blood moving through the heart. The display is quite impressive in real time. http://mykentuckyheart.com/services/Echocardiogram.htm Dreadfullyboring ( talk) 02:56, 23 June 2010 (UTC) June 22, 2010
These are now redirects here (better than nothing) can some information be added relating to these types of MVP? Thanks, Rich Farmbrough, 10:49 14 December 2006 (GMT).
I merged MVP syndrome into this article and trimmed it down into stuff that is relevant. That didn't leave much. :-) The problem is, there isn't much in the modern literature, and some of it is contradictory. Ksheka 02:50, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
I don't think you should have merged the two articles. MVPS is a chemical imbalance of the ANS which doesn't always occur with MVP. Also MVPS can occur on it's own without MVPS. They are two different things that aren't always related. They should remain seperate articles.

This edit removed the main reference I used in writing the article. It's probably my fault for not making it clear that the article was based on that reference. Anyhow, I'd feel better about using that article as the primary reference rather than using the about.com, yahoo.com, and .org references that have since been added. I'm leaning towards reverting the article to this version. Thoughts? -- David Iberri ( talk) 17:45, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I realize this isn't a forum or anything but I have a question regarding Mitral valve prolapse and I am unsure where I can find any particular help (as my doctors aren't doing anything about it). Well, I'm having some symptoms that are not listed on this page and I am not quite sure if it is linked with MVP (though I have been diagnosed for MVP). Near my heart, I have severe pain and throbbing. Sometimes I will feel bubbles going through my blood and through my chest and it is intense. I get very dizzy and get horrible headaches. The strangest symptom of all is how my muscles and organs will start to jump as though they have been jolted by electricity...I've already have my one thumb start hurting for no reason, my neck, and virtually everywhere else on my body jump or have electricity shoot through it. MVP is linked with dysautonomia...so could this be just the nerve-related aspects? Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it. To respond, please feel free to post on my user board User: j.l.barthel Thanks and good luck to everyone else that may have the condition!
Could this [2] be clarified in the article without going to the source? Brian Pearson 00:28, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Diberri:
The link for "infective endocarditis" doesn't have to go to a redirect page. All that page does is send the user to the article on Endocarditis. Why not go directly to the Endocarditis article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.53.197.12 ( talk) 02:22, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
I was just reading the New England Journal of Medicine review article, Mitral-valve repair for mitral-valve prolapse, S Verma and TG Mesana, 361:2261, 3 December 2009.
I haven't compared it to the Lancet, but there have been a few articles published since then reviewing surgery vs. watchful waiting.
Most obvious difference in the NEJM article is that it doesn't refer to "classical" and "nonclassical" mitral valve prolapse, and didn't discuss thickness of leaflets. They paid more attention to Doppler assessment of regurgitant volume, regurgitant fraction, regurgitant orfice, left ventricular dysfunction, etc.
The guidelines of the American societies are a little more aggressive in recommending surgery for asymptomatic patients than the European Society of Cardiology.
I don't have any objection to British/European usage or recommendations, but if they're different, or they leave Americans puzzled, we should make the distinction clear. -- Nbauman ( talk) 19:39, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
As a medical student I feel less confident in my rights to alter the article and less confident in my knowledge that I'd like to add, so I'll put something here and hope a cardiologist stumbles upon it. I think it would be best if it were made clear that the murmur that takes place following the mid-systolic click is only due to regurgitation into the LA. I know that MVP can occur without regurgitation, and so it would seem important to make this kind of distinction. Since MVP does not always present with regurgitation, I was confused as to why many of the sources I could find neglected to mention that this is why a murmur may not always follow the mid-systolic click.

Hey, as a medical student (I once was) you are more qualified than many other editors. Careful and well written edits accompanied with good sources are always appreciated. EtherDoc ( talk) 16:40, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
I wrote something else before. It no longer matters. I am deleting these sections that claim a lack of a link between the condition and panic disorders. Under Signs and Symptoms, it links to a page about the bi-polar relationship. Under history, the same citation (1) appears twice, and both link to a lancet article " http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736%2805%2917869-6/fulltext" that, as is clear, says absolutely nothing about the claim of no link.
Considering how horrible sufferers tend to feel, and that I am one myself, I didnt feel at first it was appropriate to edit these, as my view is not in any way neutral. But they contain no information about anything relating to that claim of lack of a connection between the prolapse and panic disorder (among other things symptoms.) 74.128.56.194 ( talk) 16:06, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
Do we need the note about the valve looking like a hat? Surely this is only needed on the mitral valve page itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Millionmice ( talk • contribs) 03:30, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
Overview is covered in introduction. History too short to warrent its own section. Pathophysiology (currently under overview) can be moved to its own place. Will action if no one objects. Millionmice ( talk) 03:53, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

The one reference provided in the "External Link" section is to an article at the "Curlie" website. This appears to be another crowd-sourced project similar to Wikipedia. The authors there may conceivably be some of the same authors who worked on this WP article. I do not see how that site is considered reliable.
I request that you eliminate the Curlie reference and replace it with a reliable source, like this one at Johns Hopkins, "Mitral Valve Prolapse", that is written for a lay audience- It is clear and informative. I am sure that there are other reliable sources, too, if you find Johns Hopkins objectionable.
