hi!i had this x-ray before and it revealed that i have mild cardiomegaly so i was asked to undergo the 2d echo and i find out i have a mild mitral valve prolapse..how can i prevent this condition?is there any other way that my heart will go back to its normal size?
Hello Thanks for posting here. Mitral valve people is a relatively harmless condition. It causes minor leak between the heart valves. X-ray has shown cardiomegaly, but please confirm whether 2 D echo has also shown enlargement of heart chambers. Also, please update the 2 d echo findings whether there is leak or regurgitation between the mitral valve (MR). There is no way to prevent a mitral valve prolapse because you have it since birth. Only we can reduce the leak with medications if it is more than a moderate leak. The heart is not grossly enlarged, and mild cardiomegaly can be ignored if chamber sizes on echo are normal. Wishing you good health regards.
