For the past 15 years there has been an increasing interest in the prolapsed mitral (PMV) syndrome as evidenced by its increasing attention in the literature. Although the syndrome in many of its aspects is still ill-defined, enough is known about it and its possible sequelae--arrhythmias, endocarditis, and sudden death--to signal some concern to flight surgeons. This paper briefly reviews the prolapsed mitral valve syndrome and defines the aeromedical problem which it presents. The author, furthermore, points out that there is a need for prospective studies so that the prognosis of PMV will be better understood. Only in that way will flight surgeons be able to determine more intelligently appropriate aeromedical disposition.
在过去15年里，人们对二尖瓣脱垂（PMV）综合征的关注日益增加，文献中对其关注的增多就证明了这一点。尽管该综合征在许多方面仍未明确界定，但对其及其可能的后遗症——心律失常、心内膜炎和猝死——已有足够了解，足以引起飞行外科医生的一些关注。本文简要回顾了二尖瓣脱垂综合征，并明确了它所带来的航空医学问题。此外，作者指出需要进行前瞻性研究，以便更好地了解PMV的预后。只有这样，飞行外科医生才能更明智地确定合适的航空医学处置。
