A study was made of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) in 1197 Kirghiz mountain-dwellers aged 16 to 22 living constantly at different altitudes of the Tien Shan and the Pamirs. MVP was detected in 24 persons (10.9%) living at an altitude of 3600-4200 m above sea level using the method of echocardiography. At middle altitudes (2020 m) it was detected in 23 persons (3.1%) and at foothills (760 m) in 4 persons (1.7%). It was shown that MVP in inhabitants at high altitudes was accompanied by more pronounced subjective symptomatology, frequently with various rhythm disorders, hypertrophy of the right ventricle and interventricular septum. It was found appropriate that mountain-dwellers with MVP should be attributed to a risk group with adequate prophylactic medical examination.
对居住在天山和帕米尔不同海拔高度的1197名年龄在16至22岁之间的吉尔吉斯山地居民进行了二尖瓣脱垂（MVP）研究。使用超声心动图方法，在海拔3600 - 4200米的24人（10.9%）中检测到MVP。在中等海拔（2020米），在23人（3.1%）中检测到MVP，在山麓（760米），在4人（1.7%）中检测到MVP。结果表明，高海拔居民的MVP伴有更明显的主观症状，常伴有各种心律失常、右心室和室间隔肥厚。发现患有MVP的山地居民应被归为有足够预防性医学检查的风险组是合适的。
