Questions and Answers

What is the main characteristic of Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP)?

  • Asymptomatic condition with chest palpitations and anxiety as symptoms (correct)
  • Complete closure of the mitral valve resulting in blood flow restriction
  • Forward flow of blood due to a stiffened mitral valve
  • Out pouching of the mitral valve into the left ventricle

    • Which type of valve disorder is defined as incompetent valve closure where blood flows backwards?

  • Aortic Valve Regurgitation
  • Mitral Valve Stenosis
  • Mitral Valve Regurgitation (correct)
  • Mitral Valve Prolapse

    • How does Mitral Valve Prolapse differ from Mitral Valve Stenosis?

  • MVP leads to stiffening of the valve, while Stenosis causes outpouching into the atrium
  • MVP involves an incomplete valve closure, while Stenosis prevents the valve from opening completely (correct)
  • MVP is mostly asymptomatic, while Stenosis presents with chest palpitations and anxiety
  • MVP results in reduced blood flow, while Stenosis involves a backward flow of blood

    • Why is it important for patients with Mitral Valve Prolapse to report any new symptoms?
