Thanks for the video. Im having mitral valve surgery soon. Im 53. Fit. Had a successful cardioversion after developing permanent AF after exercising almost a year ago now. Your video on this ( and others) is greatly appreciated. You are very reassuring and knowledgeable. Thank you for what you do.

Many thanks. I presume they are planning possible AF ablation and left atrial appendage closure too? Let us know how you get on. We would love to hear from you 👍🏽

Fascinating

This is interesting,,,I had elongated papillary muscles, went for mitral valve repair(splitting and shortening of papillary muscles with patial annuloplasty). I might need another surgery as as it's regurgutating mildly again. Is minimal invasive re-repair possible in my case??

Thanks for sharing. Yes sir. If you has breastbone before then the easier method to get the the mitral valve is by keyhole

Do you have low blood pressure due to leaky mitral valve?

Hello and thanks. Dehydration no but low blood volume can create a condition called systolic anterior motion producing leak which is correctable with proper correction. Mild leak needs to be monitored.

Dr Thanks for the clarification onMR with respect to dehydration. In the clarification you had said low volume of blood creates leak and can be corrected.Can it be corrected by medicines and magnesium rich food?.Regarding trivial regurgiation you had indicated to be monitored. How to monitor at home?. Kindly clarify.Regards,V.karunakaran

Dr your comments required on the above query

Dr Does Mitral valve prolapse lead to sinus tachycardia?

It can. Over time it also creates a serious heart rhythm disorder called Atrial Fibrillation which can cause stroke and heart failure

Is the leak torrential now or slight?

I am nearly 75,After hospital tests,I was told I had a leak in my heart valve,and was told they will send for me in 2 years for another test,Is this normal to wait that long?

Good question. It depends upon how severe the leak is.
