Holter monitor study: You can ask your doctor to prescribe you a holter monitor study (ekg for 24 hrs) to catch up any arrhythmia you have. Several studies report a broad range in incidence of the following arrhythmia in patients with mvp: • premature atrial contractions -35-90% • paroxysmal atrial tachycardia -3-32% • premature ventricular contractions -58-89% • complex ventricular ectopy -43-56%.

No. : Mvp with minimal leak is not dangerous now. However, it can (but might not) progress over your lifetime to mitral valve regurgitation (leak) that is significant. Occasional skipped beats are not dangerous, but are a symptom of mvprolapse.
