Autonomic symptoms may occur independently of regurgitation severity in mitral valve prolapse; extends mechanistic framework but leaves targeted management open.
This review highlights the distinction between symptoms caused by progressive mitral regurgitation and those driven by autonomic nervous system activation in patients with floppy mitral valve/mitral valve prolapse syndrome.
Boudoulas et al. (2013) conducted a review in Floppy Mitral Valve (FMV) / Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) and FMV/MVP Syndrome. This review discusses the natural history, pathophysiologic mechanisms, and management of floppy mitral valve and mitral valve prolapse, highlighting autonomic nervous system activation in symptoms.
