30 Jul 2009 The American Heart Association (AHA) published their revised guidelines in 2007 in which they markedly limited the recommendations for the use of antimicrobial prophylaxis for the prevention of infective endocarditis (IE), except for patients who ... Read more...

[The use of Magne B6 in order to increase compensatory-adaptive possibilities in youths with primary mitral valve prolapse]

30 Dec 2007 The aim of the study--to estimate the effect of therapy with Magne 6 on the indices of cardiac hemodynamics, tolerance to physical load, activity of antioxidant protection enzymes and grade of hypoxia in youths with 1 grade mitral valve prolapse ... Read more...

[Dynamics of cardiovascular system functional state indices in patients with idiopathic mitral valve prolapse against the background of magnerot and alprazolam therapy]

30 Dec 2007 144 patients with idiopathic mitral valve prolapse (MVP) were examined. They were divided into groups of treatment with magnerot, and placebo (control group). Decrease of echocardiography indices of MVP was noticed in the patients who received ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Mitral Valve Prolapse'

Definition: Abnormal protrusion or billowing of one or both of the leaflets of MITRAL VALVE into the LEFT ATRIUM during SYSTOLE. This allows the backflow of blood into left atrium leading to MITRAL VALVE INSUFFICIENCY; SYSTOLIC MURMURS; or CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA.
