I have MVP mild mitral
I have MVP with mild mr I want to know what's the probability of mild become severe most of the people with mild become severe or there any specific number.I just want to know what are the chances of mild become severe and how many years will it changed to moderate or severe in most cases
It is difficult to say how many years will it take to become severe.
It is better to keep monitoring with Echo every 6 monthly.
If size of left chambers of heart is increasing or the severity of MR is increasing then get operated with Mitral valve repair.
Results of good repair is excellent.
If possible you may go for minimally invasive MV repair when required in future.
