What is the best antibiotic way to treat mitral valve prolapse?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
None: The risk of anaphylaxis and death is higher for taking an antibiotic (amoxicillin is the one that has been used) than for getting endocarditis (infected heart valve) from mvp. The american heart association stopped advising antibiotic prophylaxis for mvp in 2007.
