conditionally yes: As long as you're cardiologist is going to monitor you with periodic echocardiograms you have nothing to worry about. The criteria for prophylaxis prior to a dental procedure or colonoscopy has been updated to state that mild mitral regurgitation does not require antibiotic treatment before or after the treatment.

Data: There isn't enough direct data here to know. If you've had the cardiac cath you list above and your cardiologist isn't concerned chances are he's correct. The cath is the specific test we use to determine the hemodynamic significance of the mitral regurg. Lvh and its cause are not explained enough here to comment.
