About Me

Have been monitoring Mitral Valve prolapse with regurgitation for 20+ years. After years of moderate regurgitation, one of the cords on my posterior leaflet has detached causing 50-60% back flow of blood...time for repair. 10 days to go..worried that it will get postponed because of the Coronavirus.
