A member asked:

My husband has mitral valve prolapse moderate, with atrial fib events reqiring cardio version about yearly. should he have it fixed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

More info: Mvp is relatively common. What dictates valve surgery is the degree of valve rgurgitations, flail of the leaflet, symptoms of heart failure, heart function. I suggest monitoring and evaluation by a cardiologist.
