Anterior mitral valve prolapse

　　Mitral valve prolapse is a heart valve disorder affecting the valve between the left heart chambers. The mitral valve is one of the four heart valves and helps ensure blood flows properly from the left atrium to the left ventricle.

　　In mitral valve prolapse, the valve leaflets bulge backward into the left atrium. This prevents the valve from closing properly, which may lead to blood regurgitation. Common causes of this condition include aging, congenital heart abnormalities, myocardial infections, and others. In the early stages, patients often have no significant signs or symptoms. As the disease progresses, individuals may gradually develop dizziness, shortness of breath, arrhythmias, and other symptoms.

　　Treatment for this condition depends on its severity. For mild cases, medications such as atenolol tablets, metoprolol tartrate tablets, or enteric-coated aspirin tablets may be prescribed according to medical advice, helping to alleviate symptoms and prevent thrombotic disorders. For severe cases, surgical interventions such as mitral valve repair or mitral valve replacement may be considered based on physician recommendations.
