The diagnosis of Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome (MVPS), even though symptomatically similar to anxiety neurosis, may prompt pharmacological treatment only, neglecting any underlying emotional problems. If only a dichotomy were considered, one diagnosis might be seen as mutually exclusive of the other. A case history is presented illustrating features of both clinical syndromes. We consider the interaction of both etiologies, as well as the possibility of both being unrelated and coincidental. As physiological factors are explored when the diagnosis of anxiety neurosis is considered, so should psychological factors be examined with MVPS.
二尖瓣脱垂综合征（MVPS）的诊断，尽管在症状上与焦虑神经症相似，但可能仅促使进行药物治疗，而忽略任何潜在的情绪问题。如果只考虑二分法，一种诊断可能会被视为与另一种相互排斥。本文介绍了一个病例史，说明了这两种临床综合征的特征。我们考虑了两种病因的相互作用，以及两者不相关且巧合的可能性。在考虑焦虑神经症的诊断时会探究生理因素，那么在MVPS中也应该检查心理因素。
