Early detection and durable mitral repair
Mitral valve prolapse is common and often harmless — but when the leak grows, timely repair protects the rest of your heart. We monitor mild cases and fix significant ones with lasting results.
Many people live full lives with mild prolapse and never need treatment — just reassurance and periodic checks. Our clinic follows such patients with echo surveillance every one to two years, watching for any change.
When regurgitation becomes severe or symptoms appear — breathlessness, fatigue, palpitations — surgical repair has excellent long-term results. Our surgeons repair rather than replace in the great majority of prolapse cases, preserving your own valve for life.

How it works
01
Detection
Exam, ECG and echo confirm the prolapse and its grade.
02
Monitoring
Mild cases enter a calm, scheduled surveillance rhythm.
03
Repair
Severe leaks are repaired, usually through a small incision.
04
Review
Echo at six weeks, then yearly checks for peace of mind.
“They explained everything in plain words and fixed the problem before it grew.”
