A member asked:

Echo: normal left ventricular size + wall thickness and wall motion, normal biventricular systolic function, mild mvp w/ trace regurgitation, ef 67%, rv systolic pressure 16mmhg, mild heart murmur. no symptoms. help! is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

MVP: Your echocardiogram is not perfectly normal as it shows mild mitral valve prolapse. All other parameters are normal. MVP is very common and very often causes no problems. Nevertheless I recommend periodic follow-up by a cardiologist as the mvp can worsen, cause atrial arrhythmias and atypical chest discomfort. Very often a click can be heard on stethoscope examination of the heart.
