Mvp: The overwhelming majority of patients like yourself will never be affected by this condition . Get an echo periodically to see if it had progressed.

Long life likely: One should have regular cardiology checkups and echocardiogram s. If there is worsening, medication or surgery with valve repair or replacement become options. People live, and live well, for a long time.
