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

How does Mitral Valve Prolapse differ from Mitral Valve Stenosis?
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 results in reduced blood flow, while Stenosis involves a backward flow of blood
