9. How Is Mitral Valve Prolapse Treated?
A majority of people with the condition do not require any form of treatment, particularly those who are asymptomatic. For those with mild symptoms, your physician may recommend that you return for regular checkups to monitor your condition. This is especially true if you have signs of regurgitation, even if you are not experiencing symptoms.
If your condition is more serious, your doctor may suggest surgery to repair or replace the affected valve. You may also be prescribed medications that can reduce heart arrhythmias. It is possible you will be prescribed a diuretic, aspirin, beta blocker, blood thinner or heart rhythm medication.
