I'm not a medical doctor, @catsunn. Two cardiologists have told me it's better to have mitral valve surgery before congestive heart failure occurs.
I had severe regurgitation with no symptoms.
You said your regurgitation is severe. Is that correct?
What does your doctor advise?

HI. I see a dr. about this for the first time this Friday. I got the report from my general dr. who found a heart murmur and sent me for echocardiogram. Had a receptionist call me to tell me to call a cardiologist.... so I'm just researching on my own. I was hoping that severe didn't automatically mean front open heart surgery and replacement. I am hoping it can be 'repaired' from the side.
