Ultra-Sensitive People Core Centering Tape ... About Roger Roger Easterbrooks Living Well with Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP), is present in ten per cent of the population. It is said to be the most common cardiac variation and women have it more than men. Of that 10%, one quarter have mild to severe symptoms. The mitral valve and the autonomic nervous system are formed simultaneously in the unborn infant. When there is a slight variation in this heart valve, it can be reflected as a slight variation in the functioning of the autonomic nervous system. Usually the syndrome is activated after one or more major crises take place; that is how mine was uncovered. Most often there is no logical connection between the crisis and activation of the symptoms. Although the MVP and heart look as if they should get the primary attention, it is actually the autonomic nervous system that needs to be the focus of any healing work. The basis for the physical description of the MVP and the list of symptoms comes from the work of Lyn Frederickson M.S.N., author of "Confronting Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome," published in 1988. It is a combination of her medical description and my eight year exploration with this syndrome that are the basis for this article. The mitral valve is located between the left ventricle and left atrium in the heart. When the lower part of the heart contracts, the mitral valve (without a prolapse) remains firm and prevents blood from leaking back into the upper chambers. When the valve is prolapsed, there is slight variation in the shape of the valve that allows one part of the valve to billow back into the upper chamber during contraction of the left ventricle. This protrusion can often be heard through a stethoscope, and the sound is known as a "click." There may also be a slight, leak of the valve during the contraction of the ventricle, which may also be heard as a soft murmur. The variation in the shape of the valve is a condition that is hereditary and may appear in various members of a family. It can feel life threatening but it isn't. It can be life-style threatening. Here is a list of some of the common symptoms of this syndrome:

Joan E. (Larmore) Simms Education and Military Service I am a Vietnam Era U. S. Air Force Veteran who served from 1962 to 1966 under the maiden name of Larmore. After completing Basic Training at Lackland (January 1963), I was stationed with the 3201st Air Base Wing WAF Squadron at Eglin AFB, Florida. In 1965 I was selected as the Fire Prevention Queen for the base. My last assignment before receiving a medical discharge was in Air Operations at Eglin. Prior to entry into the Air Force, I graduated from Samuel Ready Girls' School, Baltimore, MD. Before that I attended Wicomico County Public Schools including Nanticoke Elementary School from which my mother had graduated. After discharge from the Air Force, I moved to Towson, Maryland and began attending Johns Hopkins University Summer School. There was a slight 9 month interruption along the way. His link can be found below. Eventually, I graduated from Randolph-Macon Woman's College , Lynchburg, Virginia in 1979.

Mitral Valve Prolapse The picture above shows the valves of a normal heart. In the "systole" picture in the upper right corner notice how the ends of the valve meet perfectly to close off the flow of blood. Then, in the picture below, notice how in Mitral Valve Prolapse, the ends of the valve do not quite come together, allowing a leakage of blood back into the chamber of the heart. DEFINITION OF MVP: A fairly common and often benign disorder in which a slight deformity of the mitral valve (situated in the left side of the heart) can produce a degree of leakage (mitral insufficiency). Mitral valve prolapse causes a characteristic heart murmur that may be heard through a stethoscope. Often no symptoms are present and the condition may be discovered on a routine examination. On the other hand, there are many who experience the following symptoms : Chest pain (sharp, dull or pressing). Fatigue, shortness of breath. Dizziness. Anxiety. Lightheadedness when getting up from a chair or bed. Palpitations.
