I'm a 38 year-old male diagnosed with MVP 15 years ago. At my last echo (Sept. 2008), I was told my Left Vent. was enlarged (6.4 cm). That's about 1/2 cm larger than at my echo prior to this one (April 2000). I feel fine except for various MVP symptoms (palpitations, anxiety - which I've always dealt with), EF was normal, normal sinus rhythm, blood pressure has always been normal, pulse rate in the 50's and I tolerate physical exertion very well. I was told everything mitral-valve related looked fine, was told not to worry, and to come back next year for another echo. I'm still worrying though. Should I get a second opinion or can you have an enlarged heart forever - with no further problems or issues?
