Most people do not require treatment for mitral valve prolapse and remain asymptomatic. There is no cure for mitral valve prolapse but if a person develops symptoms medications are the common treatment and on rare occasions, surgery may be recommended.
"Most Mitral Valve Prolapses are treated with medicine and/or surgery. Depending on the degree of the MVP problem, the designated treatment approach depends on the individual patients needs and requirements."
MVP is the medical abbreviation meaning mitral valve prolapse
Class III refers to the degree of congestive heart failure, but not directly to mitral valve prolapse. Ask your cardiologist if you have any degree of heart failure as a result of mitral valve prolapse.
Mitral valve prolapse allows blood to enter into the left atrium. This often results in the valve not forming a tight seal.

Mitral valve prolapse may decrease the stroke volume, if it is associated with significant backflow. It decreases the effeciency of the left ventricular contraction.

Because there is much more pressure on the mitral valve.Mitral valve prolapse occur more often than tricuspid valve prolapses because the mitral valve is attached to the left ventricle by two chordae tendinae, whereas the tricuspid valve adheres to the right ventricle via three chordae tendinae. Thus, the tricuspid valve has more stability and is less likely to prolapse.
You'll want to talk to your doctor, and likely they'll refer you to specialist. An untreated infection may cause a mitral valve prolapse. If this is serious, the best option is surgery to correct the problem.
A sticky heart valve is another term for mitral valve prolapse. Mitral valve prolapse is when one of the mitral valves swings up towards the atrium when it opens causing blood to leak back into the atrium.
