Mary Kruse Thank you. Been diagnosed with mild valve prolapse with moderate reguritation of 18. Had heart palpations and shortness of breath. That was getting worse. MitraClip procedure has been suggested. Or mitral valve repair. Increased my blood pressure med and all calmed down. Don't know how long to wait. Cardiologist says redo regular echo see if left ventricular changes by next March. Any thoughts on waiting?

Klara Čičić Dear Mary, there is a reason why your doctor decided to wait until March, it doesn't seem too far away, maybe meds can help you until then. Sounds like a good plan, but you can always ask for a second opinion if you are not sure. That's what I did and didn't regret it. Timing of the surgery is often quite difficult to set.
I am from: Nine Mile Falls, WA
