I had severe mitral valve regurgitation. I never had any symptoms. My doctors heard a murmur during a routine exam. I had further tests and was diagnosed accordingly. I was told I needed surgery to repair my valve despite not having any apparent symptoms. That was quite shocking. I had this "keyhole" procedure to repair the valve. The operation was performed at University of Florida in Gainsville. It was a success. I no longer have any regurgitation or murmur, so I guess my story has a happy ending.

I have mitral regurgitation I'm always out of breath and I can't walk long distances at all. I had to stop working because I didn't feel productive anymore because I was tired all the time. I've had so many tests in the last five months but my doctor just monitoring things right now. I have chest pains on a daily basis along with palpitations. Most days I'm bloated and nauseated as if my heart was going to jump out my chest. I thank God so much for caring for me sick or well. I owe everything to God especially when these pains are going down my left arm and I can't be still. I serve an awesome God and he always there.

My GP heard a murmur and I’ve been having problems with my heart for years (undiagnosed) but I’ve always known something was wrong. I went a few weeks ago and I’ve got an Echo on the 27th of February and I’ve got a 48 hour tape starting on the same day. I’m hoping it’s something that doesn’t require surgery 😳 I get really very stressed watching hospital programmes on the telly and I always feel like im the one having the procedures done (even though I’m the viewer) I’m extremely squeamish and I hate needles! So I’m dreading it but also looking forward to getting to the bottom of my problem

Thank you for easy this easy to understand explanation!

So clearly explained.

The best explanation. Thank you Doc. You deserve more subscribers. ❤❤❤

Nice interpretation thanks

This video is the best on this issue so far. Thank you doc!

Brilliant explanation. Thank you.

Wonderfull info thanks

Thank you for this excellent explanation, easy to understand!

Thank you.

My kid was diagnosed with a valve regurgitation, the doctor recommend follow up every year and testing done every 2 years.

Thank you for this easy to understand explanation. My cardiologist has an NP, he doesn't seem concerned and does not elaborate on any test.

The best explanation I have ever heard. Thank you.

Very informative. Thank you! And handsome.

Oh god. Why you made this body so complicated🙄 Heal us.. Heal everything 🙏

So what can we do to reverse it? I was put on metoprolol 5 years ago, and I am only 29. I don't feel any better, I still get palpitations, shortness of breath and cannot exercise. I also suffer from alot of anxiety. I feel that there are not enough studies on this matter, we are just sitting and waiting for it to get worse and then get surgery, but that doesn't seem like the best solution, does it? I wish heart doctors would be more educated on mvp and give us sufferers of mitral regurgitation a complete plan that we can follow to feel better and even reverse it, as I've heard it's possible. From nutrition, to supplements, exercises to do, breathing techniques etc. When will that exist for us who feel so darn bad every day? I am tired of going to my yearly checkup and my doc saying: oh, you are fine, just take your magnesium, do moderate exercise and don't worry. Ha, easy for you to say, you don't know how miserable I actually am!

Nice video explanation of keyhole heart surgery; the repeated emphasis on mitral valve disease is important. With the elimination of any discussion of the Mitra Clip this seems more like an ad for keyhole surgery vs. not going on the pump with a clip.

I will get a robotic mvr next week . This is a very very accurate video. Nobody has explained this so far this better. thanks

Where does the heart gets the blood from?

I hv atrial fibrilation and enlarged heart from mitral regurgitation.As a child Dr said heart murmur. Problems began in 30's bt told nothing wrong..imagination. Family Dr caught AFIBon ECG at 35 prescribed meds but nothing was wrong? Suffered extreme fatigue exhaustion anxiety.... 67yrs old slight strokeand xeralto added to meds. 70yrs old finally diagnosed bt NO SURGERY!. I hv had NOlife quality and can only do personal care but constant fibrilation continues worse at times...Drs smile ...say you hv nothing wrong just go ahead ..do as you want.Ppl think badly of me as l cant join in doing things working volunteering etc. I ASK GOD TO TAKE ME HOME AS I HV NOTHING HERE AND NO ONE BELIEVES HOW EXHAUSTED I AM...pls teach yr Drs to LISTEN to patient as they r nt God and when wrong patient pays a lifetime or death.

As a nurse I'd become suddenly sob. Yet. I thought. We are not sick at 30, stress bc tramua nurse. So I ignored it. A resident found it. I was placed on a benzo. It slowed me down enough all symptoms subsided. Now 63 off of anything I can tell you. Pain becomes bad. I increased excercise and found all subsided

Does having thalassemia intermediate cause mitral valve prolapse? If you have moderate regurgitation does that always mean you need an operation?

I have had open heart surgery twice once for an ASD and VSD and once for mitral valve repair. I am also a medical professional. This was a very very good explanation of mitral valve disease.

Been tested for Mitral valve leakage for the last five -six years. The doctor is just monitoring every two years on echocardiogram the leakage is moderate to severe but he said the heart is not enlarged to the scale that needs operation. But I'm constantly worried about it as I hear even the leakage goes whoosh whoosh whoosh. For palpitation he gives me better blocker. I'm just wondering if I should see another cardio for another opinion.❤

I got it in late 20 's. Im 57 now. Never once did ever a doc ever offer to do squat. Same with my daughter who was 12 n we keep on going and suffered with it to. Now all these n conjested. Heart. At 15 percent. Stage d n on hospice

Same here

this is a a good video but i want ask you sir the age of my cousin is 21years old she is suffering this disease she has done many tests but the dr said she has not genuine reason for the vavles leakge can you help me ?how we can treat her?

sir app be Jo lecture diya bahut acha tha please mere ko suggest karo mere heart ki ef value 29%hai with sever MR kya treatment hai ya lifestyle change aur exercise se thik ho sakta hai please sir mere problem ka answer Katie Dena please eeeee

My cardiologist said both valves had a little regurgitation, should I consider having them repaired? I don’t think they feel like it is too serious but, two years ago I had catheter ablation to treat atrial fibrillation.

What about mitral valve clips vs keyhole valve repair?

Hi sir. I have Marfan syndrome. Mitral valve prolapse with grade 3 MR. I’m 27 years old. My left ventricle is dilated and aortic root is 3.4mm. My cardiologist advised me to repair the mitral valve. I took 3-4 opinions and few docs just asked me to monitor it and not undergo surgery. Do you have any contacts in India you could suggest me to check with? Thanks.

I live in New Zealand, I have this problem to the extent I have major edema problems, I've been told that it can't be repaired, and I've also been told if I had health insurance they could possibly fix it, oh to live in a 3rd world country

I had a echocardiogram done recently and my cardiologist mentioned I have trace mitral regurgitation. No surgery or anything mentioned other than a follow up in 3 months from now. Is there anything that could be done as of now ? Should I get a second opinion?

Sir thank you very much. Were from Phillipines, my father 60 y/o diagnose with mitral valve leaks.The doctor said that the only option is to replace the valve. Sir is there any option we can do? Thank you so much sir.

I was told I have mild trace & tricuipid regurgitation with normal mitral & tricuspid valves with my right ventricle mildy dilated but the right ventricle systolic function is normal. What does this mean doc? I am on 50 mg of metoprolol tartrate for the heart palpitations. My doctors said the case is mild but they haven’t said anything about repairing right now which is strange to me.

They said I have a trace of it n said it was normal

Doc pls help me. I have a severe mitral valve regurgitation 😭😭😭 I have a shortness of breath. Can't work properly. I came from a poor family 😭😭 I'm only 29

Sir, we r from India, my wife advised for MVR, due to severe MR, Jet flow 10.8cm2, like that,& she underwent CMV at the age of 19& now she is 51& Can u suggest any better procedure & preferably in Hyderabad, India.

I’m only 40. I have had a mitral valve leak since I had covid in 2021 my cardiologist says it’s mild and it’s nothing to worry about however, I have developed palpitations and sporadic Afib that is very short lasting, I also have tachycardia since covid and was put on metoprolol but taken off a few months ago because it dropped my already low BP to 85/40!! I was told today I now have 2 leaky valves idk which the other valve is, but again was told it’s mild and not to worry even though I’ve had symptoms (fatigue, lightheadedness, palpitations and now Afib) I’ve never had swelling of my ankles and I’m a healthy weight but have higher cholesterol than my pcp would like, after watching your video I’m wondering why with my symptoms my cardiologist hasn’t suggested treatment? Should I get a second opinion? Or is it ok to just monitor it for a while even with these symptoms? Thanks.

When my grandma died her body was convulsing, filled with fluid and she was spewing it up like an endless stream out of her mouth, the liquid color went from black to blood red to yellow to clear, what is this called? The convulsing while spewing liquid?

my finance has a leaky valve and was denied for the heart clip because he is on dialysis is there anything else we can do?

How much does the repair usually cost?

I've had 3 valve replacements..... 1 open heart mitral valve replacement, and 1 tavr mitral valve replacement, and 1 aorta tavr replacement. How many replacements can one person have? hmmm!

what if TR is just mild Would it develop and get severe in future ?

Doctor is there any treatment for permanent cure of mitral valve regurgitation??

Sir one echo cardiogram technician mishandled my case and said that I have a severe mitral regurgitation... While other senior doctors after doing echo they said that u have a Mild regurgitation... N that's what they had said when I was a child now I am 26 years old... I wana share my reports with u... Can I can have your email address please

Sir... I did the ECG test earlier this week and it showed left ventricular hypertrophy and so the doctor asked me to go for echocardiography.. The report came out normal... I don't understand.....

Hi, I have hole in heart can you suggest me what treatment can I take

my father has mitral valve regurgitation...he is 66 years... doctor says surgery cannot be done considering his age...is anyone to help and guide me please....

How do I get better care I'm very unhappy with my cardiologist. Can't get a clearer sense as to what's going on inside my heart despite many echo cardio gram's. I see the detail test results and it's very difficult to get a good explanation as to what it all means. Who can I possibly talk to to discuss in detail what's going on.??? I would pay money to have someone sit and discuss with me those three pieces of paper I see showing the test results and also look at the actual video and pictures taken during the test. How does one truly understand the stuff if the doctor really doesn't have any interest in talking to you about it in great detail which goes against patient care cause they may not have enough time because they're so busy cramming so many other patients through the door or they're just lazy and not helpful or arrogant

I accidentally damaged my heart by lifting a 90lbs item using my left hand to put inside a car trunk. From then on I have MVP and regurgitation, chest pain, palpitations and shortness of breath. I'm only 27. Been suffering from almost a year. Not sure how long I have until its game over.

Why don’t doctors repair this more often rather than letting it get worse?

I Work Heart Operating Room With Instruments seen pig valve Seen when taking out a heart there pretend Heart until that a person's heart looks rounds has eyes that open and close

I am 25yrs old, I have mild tricuspid and mitral valve regurgitation and until now I still dont why I have it and how to cure it,. I still have a lot of question in mind, I feel tired easily, I always Have chest pain and tachycardia. I dont know if its getting worse. My doctor said that its normal that I dont have to worry that we just need to watch out for it, my cardio only gave me Ivabradine 2.5mg Twice daily. every year I should do 2Decho but for 2yrs I did not do it bcoz I work in different country.

My ecg reading result is I have Sinus tachycardia also I dont know if its connected..

I CURED MY HEART ATTACK BY TAKING AN ANDRIOL CAPSUL ONCE A MONTH .

Please take homoeopathy medicine , that work best than modern medicine

I prefer to live with curable cancer instead of mvp or any other heart problems
