Yes: If you are looking for alternatives, consult with a chinese medicine practitioner and see what can be done (chinese medicine and acupuncture). It can work in conjunction with your traditional therapies.

Unfortunatrly : No.Untreated severe mitral regurgitation will lead to heart failure eventually. Surgery is the only option.See your doctor before it is too late.
