Mitral Valve Prolapse in Young Patients.
McFaul, Richard C.
Physician and Sportsmedicine, v15 n6 p194-98 Jun 1987
A review of research regarding mitral valve prolapse in young children indicates that up to five percent of this population have the condition, with the majority being asymptomatic and requiring reassurance that the condition usually remains mild. Beta-blocking drugs are prescribed for patients with disabling chest pain, dizziness, palpitation, or serious rhythm disorders. (Author/CB)
