Review
Key result
A diagnostic approach based on floppy mitral valve rather than solely on mitral valve prolapse is emphasized, alongside a clinical classification separating FMV/MVP syndrome from complications.

FMV/MVP complexity warrants cautious, phenotype-focused diagnosis beyond regurgitation severity; leaves open standardized FMV-based criteria.
This review proposes a refined diagnostic approach and clinical classification for floppy mitral valve/mitral valve prolapse to better differentiate symptom etiologies.
Boudoulas et al. (2026) conducted a review in Floppy mitral valve (FMV) / mitral valve prolapse (MVP). Diagnostic approach and clinical classification was evaluated. A diagnostic approach based on floppy mitral valve rather than solely on mitral valve prolapse is emphasized, alongside a clinical classification separating FMV/MVP syndrome from complications.
