The first thing worth mentioning about the treatment of mitral valve prolapse is that it is carried out for a long time and comprehensively. Complex therapy is aimed at improving metabolism in connective tissue, reducing clinical manifestations of vegetative-vascular dystonia, eliminating neuropsychiatric disorders and preventing complications. The treatment uses a combination of non-drug, drug and surgical methods of treatment.
It should be remembered that the best method of psychotherapy is for the patient his personal positive attitude to his condition. Not the doctor, but the patient should understand the importance and necessity of implementing the recommendations prescribed by the specialist. This is the key to success. Physiotherapy procedures for mitral valve prolapse are prescribed exclusively according to indications, and their choice should be determined depending on which disorders of the autonomic nervous system prevail.
So, with the predominance of parasympathics, collar drug electrophoresis is used with solutions of caffeine, calcium and mezaton, with sympathicotonia — with solutions of bromine, euphyllin and papaverine. Aeroionotherapy, as well as dosed ultraviolet irradiation, improve the overall well-being. The positive effect of such procedures as carbon dioxide, radon, coniferous, sulfur and hydrochloric baths.
Contraindications:
- Severe forms of mitral valve damage
- Arrhythmias
- Infectious endocarditis
- Postoperative period
- General contraindications prohibiting spa treatment
