Question : As a child I was dx with MVP. When I last saw my cardiologist for near fainting spells, unexplained racing beats while resting, and dizziness after swimming laps, I was told that I had grown out of it. I recently had a physical for my new job with the state and the physician asked me if I knew I had a heart murmur. I told him that as a child I had been dx with MVP and had an echo at 12. My question is why did the state physician hear a murmur (graded it at +2) and my cardiologist did not? I do not know if I have regurgitation, I am now 23. Should I have a repeat echo?
The murmur of MVP can be heard sometimes and inaudible at other times. Since your cardiologist didn't hear it, I doubt if you have a significant leak. If you are healthy and can exercise as well as others your age, I would never get another echo. MVP is benign, unlikely ever to have and bad effect on your heart. On the other hand, if you are worried, why not get another echo. Echoes are absolutely harmless.
