mitral valve regurgitation Posted: 04-27-08 04:48am


I have a leaky valve and I'm wandering if I should be taking anything for it. I purchased Strauss Heart Drops yesterday and would like to know if anyone has used this product.

Usually if this is mild it will be watched. If the regurgitation worsens the valve will be replaced and requires surgery.

I was diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolapse 24 years ago. I recently had a heart sonogram and the condition has not worsened. This is very common, some have symptoms and some do not. The only time I experienced symptoms from the mitral valve prolapse was when I was pregnant (hormonal changes in the body). The only sugesstion my cardiologist gave me was to ALWAYS take antibiotics before having a surgery or teeth cleaned to prevent an infection to the heart (endocarditis).
