Resumo
A patient with the prolapsed mitral valve syndrome may have no symptoms referable to the heart or, at the other extreme, may have disabling chest pain, severe arrhythmias, and electrocardiographic abnormalities. The syndrome is characterized by a midsystolic click and a late systolic murmur. The mechanism responsible for the valve deformity appears to be related to myxomatous degeneration. Associated ECG abnormalities strongly suggest myocardial disease. The diagnoses is established by echocardiography or cineangiocardiography.
