16yr old with MVP

Posted By Clara on May 23, 1998 at 22:37:31:







My son has distinct mitral valve prolapse, mild reguritation, with thickened leaflets, reduntant cusps ,and  trival mitral insuficitincy. His EKG also showed a mild right bundle branch block(not sure what this means). He has significant pectus excavatum which does conpress the heart and great vessels slightly and mild scoliosis. He does not use his accessory respiratory muscles.
He is not symptomatic at this time as far as we can tell, he has mod mental retardation and is hard to tell if he understands what we ask him. What do I need to watch for, and would you put him on beta blocker, it is hard to find information for MVP in children or teenagers.
Thanks
