Lorraine's Story

About Me (In My Own Words)

I was diagnosed with moderate/severe mitral regurgitation about 15 years ago. I am relatively asymptomatic, however I do get strangely short of breath and have episodes of irregular heartbeats sometimes. The severity of my mitral leak has progressed enough that I have been told it's time to consider surgery.
