After routine physical doctor told me my mitral valve prolapse needed checking (had for years- no symptons). Eco revealed mild-severe regurgitation. I was sent to cardiologist who preformed isotope stress test and echo. All indications were I had no blockage or heart damage. Eco showed mild to severe regurgitation. Cardiologist preformed heart cat on left and right side of heart. Heart cat revealed no blockages but 3-4+ regurgitation and a EF=70 (whatever this is)
I have been referred to Dr.Craver at Emory in Atlanta who I am told is the best. Problem is I feel great. No symptons. What should I expect. What questions should I ask. Should I wait for symptons before having operation? Cardiologist said there was 80% chance valve could be repaired.
