Mitral Valve Prolapse: Will I Need Heart Surgery?

[@noworries272]

I was diagnosed with minor prolapse and then 13 years later I have severe regurgitation and now require open heart surgery at the age of 53. Was a shocker and not expected. I am glad you mentioned periodic check ups for it because I was not told that. It was caught before any damage was done to the heart, so that is a good thing.

I had what I thought was a heart attack and they discovered the massive leaking.

I’ve been there was diagnosed with mvp at 30, now 53 and in the last two years was described as moderate, had palpitations and missed half beats and regurgitation but beta blockers helped greatly with the irregular beats,I knew that one day I would reach a point where surgery was needed, last year i got an infection in my blood, (something which i was always told to avoid but not sure how, and was previously told eg to have antibiotics an hour before dental work etc) the infection attacked my mitral valve and after two months in hospital on iv antibiotics fighting off the infection I had to have repair/replacement valve surgery, depending on what they found, so had open heart surgey just over eight months ago now, luckily they managed to work with my own tissues and repaired the valve, the first months after were uncomfortable as the nerves and muscles regenerated and repaired but at three months was quite good and now driving again and I don’t get out of breath at all now, it’s scary to think of the surgery but the surgeons are amazing and I’m grateful the infection made it happen sooner and my valve was repaired where as if it had been left longer a replacement may have been necessary, don’t be afraid if you face the surgery the benefits are so worth it and I’m proud of my scars, they saved my life, stay strong all

Guys, I am an extremely anxious and nervous person. And as incredible as it seems until 4 weeks ago I was perfectly fine, I had nothing. On April 20th, early in the morning, I woke up with tremendous palpitations, already feeling panicked and short of breath. I left the room and went to the living room in despair, thinking I was dying. A discomfort that I wouldn't wish on anyone. Afterwards, these panic attacks no longer happened the way they did, but as the days went by I felt fatigue, difficulty breathing normally and the palpitations continued. I went to the doctor and he ordered echo and Holter exams. As I am extremely anxious and fearful, I went to check the echo exam and found mild aortic valve insufficiency and mitral valve prolapse. Now the way I am I can't have peace anymore, I'm always anxious and thinking I'm going to die. I'm Brazilian and I've seen several videos of doctors saying it's nothing serious, but I've been feeling tired and constantly short of breath. Oh I don't know, I didn't want to be the way I am, I suffer for everything.

See dr berg’s video on this .

[@moondirge]

I was diagnosed when I was young, maybe around age 16? My parents never wanted me to check it out annually after doctors recommended we do, since we were so distant from the nearest place to have it checked. I don't hold it against them. They were busy folks and they were told that my condition was minor. It's probably one of my greatest fears for my own body to be killing me. And I have never stopped going into panic attacks whenever I remember I have minor heart valve prolapse. I know that being anxious about it doesn't help me. I'm in college now at age 21, and now I want to take matters into my own hands. I can't tell how serious this is for me personally, especially since I haven't been keeping aware of its condition and already have a weak constitution on top of just plain bad luck. Additionally, I am extremely prone to long periods of anxiety, which I hear is bad for the heart. I was told, however, that I shouldn't take too much anesthesia. Which concerns me, since I do someday hope to have children...But I have to keep hope and work with the future. Sharing because knowing that I'm NOT the only one has been a huge help. And I want to give back to the sense for others.

How often do mvp repair themselves in adults? After many years of cardiologist appointments and echos monitoring my mvp at the same level my doc informed me my recent echo indicated the mvp had healed itself. I get conflicting information online so I'm curious 🤔

[@HeartValveSurgery]

Hi Becky, This is very interesting. In the 15+ years that we have been operating HeartValveSurgery.com, we have yet to hear from a patient with his/her heart valve disease healing itself. From our understanding, heart valve disease is a structural heart problem - similar to a faulty/rusty/leaky valve in your kitchen sink. Did your cardiologist explain how the valve may have healed itself?

I had "insignificant" regurgitation, but two weeks after COVID I got bigeminy from 38% premature-ventricular contractions (PVC) and a year later, I had severe (65%) regurgitation.

[@HeartValveSurgery]

Hi Wayne, Thanks for sharing your story with us. Did you end up getting surgery for your mitral valve prolapse after it reached the severe level?

[@WayneGreen-g8l]

​@@HeartValveSurgery Thanks for asking. The discovery of severe regurgitation was with an MRI which showed bi-leaflet prolapse, myxomatous degeneration, and pseudo mitral annular disjunction (along with 38% tricuspid regurgitation and mild aortic / pulmonary regurgitation). My cardiologist has ordered a transesophageal echocardiogram. I'm supposed to have surgery with a da Vinci robot after those results have been examined. We're looking at two or three months from now for the surgery. For the PVCs, they had me on diltiazem, a beta-blocker and flecainide which didn't help. After months of PVCs, I tried Nattokinase and other supplements which fixed the problem although the cardiologists don't believe it. They say that the MVP caused the PVC, and that the meds helped. I believe that it's the other way around: the PVCs worsened the MVP. I also have issues with painful supraventricular-tachycardia (SVT) which followed after a spinal fusion surgery in late 2011. I'll try to keep the link to this and post what happens.

Of course Drs re.my Back/Neck & hearing (had a test) say its unrelated to either, no cause or cure. It sucks having a constant hum with me. Of course, I'm not going to 'hope' for a heart surgery just to try to rid me of Tinnitus, BUT after hearing your ear-click's gone since surgery!?! Just wow!

Unfortunately now, currently at week 5 I have tested positive for Covid, so combining a sore chest with coughing and sneezing is not fun, and I wouldn’t recommend it.
