[Clinical symptoms of mitral valve prolapse. Treatment with metoprolol (author's transl)].
Twelve patients with symptomatic mitral valve prolapse were given metoprolol. The efficacy of the drug was evaluated on clinical improvement and changes in echocardiograms, exercise testing and 24 h ambulatory electrocardiograms. The efficacy of metoprolol was remarkable on palpitations and cardiac arrhythmias recorded on ambulatory electrocardiograms.
