  • Complications and prognosis

    The overall prognosis is excellent for most patients with MVP, with an expected lifespan similar to the general population.

    A minority of patients may develop complications, which are:

    -Progression to severe mitral regurgitation, which may may require surgery.

    -There is a small increased risk of:

    Sudden cardiac death

    Infective endocarditis

    -Possibly, an increased risk of stroke, but this has not been proved.

    Results of mitral valve repair are usually good.
