Mvp: Mitral valve prolapse is usually a benign finding. You don't have to do anything about it. Also called click-murmur syndrome. Found in a lot of a symptomatic women. Your cardiologist will keep you informed of any recommendations as to antibiotic prophylaxis. Your cardiologist will keep you informed of any revisions.

Doubtful: this affects a few percent of the female population. There is a theoretical increased risk of valve infection. Mostly problems are symptomatic (associated with panic attacks). Treatable with usual SSRI's with HIGH SUCCESS.
