Q

Diagnostic tests for mitral valve prolapse

A

A doctor listening to the heart with a stethoscope usually identifies mitral valve prolapse during a routine office exam thanks its tell-tale click and murmur

  1. Echocardiogram: Measurements can determine the amount of blood being
    regurgitated.
  2. Chest x-ray
  3. Electrocardiogram (ECG)
  4. Stress test: A stress test can be used to determine if angina is a result of MVP or
    coronary artery disease.
  5. Cardiac catheterization: This test is performed only if the condition is severe enough to warrant surgery.

Q

Left-sided heart failure

A

This is the most common form of heart disease and causes fluid
