MVP often Fad Dx: No one has ever come up with any explanation why mvp (nearly always only a judgement call looking at mitral valve motion in echo images) would or should create pain or other symptoms. Instead, mvp DX offers a way for doc to tell patient nothing serious wrong while seeming to provide an "explanation" (typically bogus) for the symptoms. Mvp DX rare before 2d echo & given to young, slender people.

Yes: Discuss status and degree of prolapse and leakage with your pcp or cardiologist. Many folks have this condition and no symptoms, and a long life-- you need your facts and planning to allow your best life! and anxiety control.
