  1. Long term complications of MVP

  2. In most studies, MVP has a complication rate of less than 2 percent per year2,15 . • The age-adjusted survival rate in men and women with MVP is similar to that in patients without this common clinical disorder

  3. Complications of Mitral Valve Prolapse Atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmias Congestive heart failure Pulmonary hypertension Ruptured mitral valve chordae Infective endocarditis Central nervous system embolic events O'Rourke RA. The mitral valve prolapse syndrome. In: Chizner MA, ed. Classic teachings in clinical cardiology. Cedar Grove, N.J.: Laennec, 1996:1049-70.

  4. Congestive Heart Failure Gradual progression of mitral regurgitation progressive dilation of the left atrium and left ventricle atrial fibrillation, moderate to severe mitral regurgitation LV dysfunction congestive heart failure

  5. Infective Endocarditis • a serious complication of MVP • MVP is the leading predisposing cardiovascular disorder in patients with endocarditis. • Because the absolute incidence of endocarditis is extremely low in the entire MVP population, the risk of its developing in these patients has been a subject of considerable debate.

  6. Thromboembolic Events • Rarely, fibrin emboli may cause visual problems related to occlusion of the ophthalmic or posterior cerebral circulation. • Patients younger than 45 years who have MVP are at greater risk for cerebrovascular accidents than would be expected in similar patients without MVP. • Therefore, it has been recommended that antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin or anticoagulants be administered to patients with MVP who have a history of suspected cerebral emboli
