mitralMitral regurgitation - chronic
Mitral stenosis
Mitral valve prolapse regurtitation about one year ago. He is on
vasotec now because his heart
enlargedEnlarged adenoids
Enlarged prostate at 6 month follow up. I heard from his pediatrician that one of his friend had
rheumaticRheumatic fever fever with heart problems at age 14 and murmur disappeared after 26 years. My son's cardiologist said that 70% of folks with my son's stage of the disease may be free of disease in ten years. But when I got a second opinion from another cardiologist, he says the disappearance of the murmur is unlikely and he may need valve repair sometime. I would like to know your opinion and from people who have/had rheumatic heart disease.
