MR heart

While getting a chest x-ray done we got another diagnose. My husband was told he has a MR heart. What does that mean? The doctor said he needs to go somewhere and get treatment for that. Is it serious? Ar there many discomforts with this? Is it fatal. I have found unfamiliar lingo information online. We are newlyweds and are very panicked about this. Thanks for any information.

ok, the dr office didn't really tell us anything. Do you have discomforts with it? If so what do you do about? I feel helpless cause I don't know anything about it, still newlyweds & not sure how to phsyically comfort him.

MR means Mitral Valve Regurgitation, but they really should tell you how  much blood gets regurgitated. I forgot wether mine was determined to be "trivial" or "mild" - in any event, I haven't done a darn thing about it. So it all depends.
