Cardiovascular - Mitral Valve Disorders
In this episode, we break down the major mitral valve disorders—mitral valve prolapse (MVP), mitral regurgitation (MR), and mitral stenosis (MS)—using a clear, high-yield, clinically focused approach. We explore core pathophysiology, classic presentations, and hallmark exam findings such as the midsystolic click of MVP, the blowing holosystolic murmur of MR, and the diastolic rumble with opening snap of MS. Listeners will also learn key risk factors, diagnostic strategies, and evidence-based management, including when to consider surgical repair or replacement. A concise and practical review perfect for PA students, educators, and clinicians aiming to sharpen their skills in evaluating and managing mitral valve disease.
