A member asked:

I have diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse with trivial mr.have esr 27mm/hr.i had history of rheaumatic fever and is there any problem?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: With history of rheumatic fever, it is ideal to check the nature of the mitral valve. While the mr is trivial, the echo findings can help in the evaluation for surgical intervention, aside from symptoms. The expertise of the cardiologist and cv surgeon is critical in DX and rx . Even with trivial mr, surgery maybe needed especially with atrial fibrillation hx. But, you will need to be seen again.
