Hello,  I have had a mitral valve prolapse monitored for years now and have just been told that I should really consider surgery sooner rather than later.  Over the last 4 years my heart has gone from 48cm to 53cm and I am wondering if this is damage and if so, is it irrreversable?
Hello, I have gone through your query. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Basically decision of surgery in case of MVP depends on degree of leakage of valve rather than dimensions. Till the size of 55 we consider it as upper normal, and it does not constitute to be indication of surgery. In any case 53 is not cause of worry. I would be able to guide you properly if you provide me with detailed echo report, My best wishes Chat Doctor.
