Often benign: In general, this condition is benign. It may lead to palpitations, shortness of breath, migraine, anxiety. Mitral valve replacement may be needed if there is severe mitral regurgitation or a leaky mitral valve - rare cases for mitral valve prolapse.

Surgery: But not everybody needs it. The majority of people with mvp need no treatment at all, but technically speaking, the only way to eliminate the prolapse is to repair the valve aurgically.
