A member asked:
Are mitral valve leaflet strengthening and mitral valve prolapse the same thing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. 'strengthening when the valve can be repaired. Prolapse is when it is diseased and and moves out of its position with the heartbeat.

Echocardiogram showed moderate mitral valve thickening with prolapse of anterior mitral leaflet , MR jet posteriorly directed . What is your opinion?
How serious is subaortic vsd (1.1 cm)? The mitral and tricuspid valves show redundant leaflets with evidences of prolapse and the left ventricle is slightly dilated.
My heart echo shows that i have mild prolapse of the anterior mitral valve leaflet and mild prolapse of the posterior mitral valve leaflet. What does this mean ? Should i be concerned ? Is this life threatening?
My doctor suspects I have Lupus and sent me for an echo. Results normal except for "anterior mitral valve leaflet is long and slightly thickened". No prolapse or regurgitation. What would cause long/thickened leaflet? Lupus or something else? Thanks?
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.
