The mitral valve prolapse syndrome (MVPS) is an infrequent outcome of mitral valve prolapse, a common and usually benign structural abnormality. Psychiatric patients often present with symptoms indistinguishable from MVPS, knowledge of which is thus essential for differential diagnosis. Even when prolapse of the mitral valve is detected, the symptoms may be variously determined by both physical and emotional factors. Four illustrative case histories are presented.
二尖瓣脱垂综合征（MVPS）是二尖瓣脱垂这一常见且通常为良性的结构异常少见的后果。精神科患者常常表现出与MVPS难以区分的症状，因此了解这一点对于鉴别诊断至关重要。即使检测到二尖瓣脱垂，症状可能受到身体和情绪因素的多种影响。本文展示了四个典型病例。
