title: Mitral valve prolapse syndrome revisited.
abstract: Mitral valve prolapse is a relatively common cardiac finding which, unfortunately, is often overdiagnosed and overtreated. For most patients, it can be regarded as an incidental observation without significance in terms of symptoms or prognosis. This article reviews our current understanding of what has been aptly called "the mitral prolapse fiasco".
