Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having severe mitral regurgitation (MR).
You are also having MVP (mitral valve prolapse).
So your mitral valve is almost failing.
Mitral valve is most important valve in heart. It is responsible for cardiac output.
So problem in mitral valve will cause decreased cardiac output and this can cause hypotension and sudden cardiac arrest (death).
So to prevent these life threatening complications, better to treat MR and MVP. You are having severe MR, so surgery is the only option.
So don't wait foracort surgery, get done mitral valve replacement as soon as possible to prevent life threatening complications.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
