Absolutely: You should be followed by a cardiologist with a yearly physical exam and based on the severity of the mitral regurgitation with a periodic echocardiogram.

Once: See one once and depending on severity you could be followed solely by your primary doctor or might require at least annual visits with a cardiologist.
