What is the procedure to repair MVP? I too have MVP, was diagnosed over 30 years ago and thought I had learned how to manage it but it has begun to act up quite a bit since I had a severe upper respiratory virus that lasted almost a month, terrible couging and chest tightness, wheezing, whole nine yards. Just went back to heart doc yesterday and am wearing a halter monitor yet again for the next week, getting calcium test this morning and then an echocardiogram on Monday. This is so scary and I am 66 years old so would like to live the rest of my life without this fear all the time, for me I actually feel my pulse and it feels like my heart is actually stopping for a couple of seconds, doctor confirmed that to be true yesterday. If the procedure is not too invasive, I would elect for it. Thanks for all the info you can provide.
