Question 1

i have moderate mitral prolapse and myxomatous what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Weak tissue: This term is applied to a condition where the tissue that connects the valve to the heart tissue may be looser (weaker). Generally benign (not to worry) but I would discuss it with your MD if your symptoms are worsening.

Question 2

i am patientofmvp  echocardiography report shows mild myxomatous thickening of mv with grade-1 prolapse of both leaflets with trivial mr is it serious

Accepted Answer

Not serious: But should have periodic echocardiogram for surveillance.

Question 3

i wanted to know about moderate to severe myxomatous mvp? is it life threatening or can live with it ? what are the advice to follow to live healthy if we done operation for mvp then what you say about life time is there any way to live like normally?

Accepted Answer

: If the MVP is causing marked mitral regurgitation by echocardiographic criteria, I expect you will require eventual mitral valve mechanical valve replacement or transcatheter replcement or repair of your current valve.  You should be advised and monitored by a cardiac surgeon or team who has a lot of experience and expertise in mitral valve replacement,repairs or nonsurgical  transvalve replacemen

Question 4

in my echo reprt it says mild buckling of anterior mitral leaflet, no myxomatous thickness seen. and also trace mitral regurgitation.

Accepted Answer

Likely benign: This is a common finding on echo especially in young women. It may be due more to dehydration rather than a structural abnormality.

Question 5

my echo showed a thickened mitral valve, myxomatous with no regurgitation.  i am a 20 year old male. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

No: The most important thing from the echo is there is no leak. Also since you didn't mention i will assume everything else was normal. Could your valve worsen over time to the point you need surgery?  Maybe. Is there something you can do to prevent it? No. The chances are it will be fine for a long time or even the rest of your life. You just need to follow the valve periodically with your doctor.

Question 6

what is myxomatous redundant mitral valve prolapse?

Accepted Answer

Birth defect: It's abnormal tissue composing the mitral valve from birth. Myxomatous tissue is thickened, exuberant, and stretches - thus doesn't provide proper support for the mitral valve which then "bows backward" under the force of cardiac contraction and "prolapses" (sticks its neck out) into the left atrium during systole (where it doesn't belong). It can lead to mitral regurgitation (leaking).

Question 7

is myxomatous of the mitral valve with minimal insuficiency, is this dangerous? whats the treatment? os this related to anxietyand shortness of breath

Accepted Answer

Mitral valve : Myxomatosis mitral valve is fairly commonly diagnosed with the improvement of Eco technology. Inthe present of no or minimal regurgitation the risk is small. We do know valves degenerate and care should be taken to reassess the patient from time to time. Anxiety does not effect function and shortness of breath here is usually from some other cause

Question 8

what does heterogenous echotecture compatible with myomatous change of the uterus mean?

Accepted Answer

: Ultrasound of the pelvis can detect masses called "fibroids" which have a different density than the uterine myometrium, and the ultrasound report may describe the "findings" as "heterogenous echotexture", in describing "fibroid" tumors, which are overwhelmingly benign.

Question 9

what is the best treatment for uterus myomatous?

Accepted Answer

It depends: The common term to which you refer is a fibroid which are found in up to 70% of women depending on studies. If asymptomatic, as the majority are, they require no treatment. There are treatments that will decrease their size but to remove them  requires surgery, either a myomectomy or hysterectomy depending upon the patient's wishes. Meds can control bleeding if that is the issue.

Question 10

are moderate to severe myxamatous mvp patients need surgery? doctor advised to not lift any weight things and advised to come check up once a year only what are the other advises to live healthy and if a surgery has done then what about life time?

Accepted Answer

: It is good that you are seeing a doctor. It would be prudent to get rechecked as advised you your doctor. If your heart and valve remain stable, you not need surgery. 
Wish you good health!
