Probably not: Most patients with mitral valve prolapse (mvp) do not need beta blockers.  In a few, there may be symptoms such as palpitations or chest pain which may improve with beta blockers, but the need should be determined based on the specific patient's history and testing with a stress test or holter monitor.  Taking beta blockers just because one is diagnosed with mvp is not recommended.
