Hi, can anyone tell me if your your mitral valve regur went from moderate to severe sooner than you thought or the doctor thought?

HI, Can regurgitation happen quickly, going from mild to moderate or moderate to severe? I am on beta blocker but the past few days feels like my symptoms are coming back. Thanks Jean

I was moderate for 18 years. Live and enjoy life. Get an echo every year. Call your doctor if you develop syptoms. I joined this sight a long time ago and basically stopped visiting it until I truly needed it.

Went from hearing moderate to severe regurgitation to mild to moderate with symptoms! Its all so very confusing with the echo reports.

Exactly! I learned there is no objective standard and its all subject to the interpretation of the cardiologist or whoever is looking at the pictures.
