A member asked:
Which is more difficult to manage: the anterior or posterior mitral valve prolapse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Severity: Management of MV prolapse depends on severity of symptoms, and if there is any mitral regurgitation - not so much on whether the anterior or posterior leaflets are more involved.

Does this increase my risk for sudden cardiac death? Is this mitral valve prolapse?, will it get worse with time? Anterior mitral valve leaflet moderately thickened but no stenosis or prolapse.
