colour doppler study reveals ;MVP with trivial MR    
my LV Ejection Fraction is 58%

You are reporting a very good result of your evaluation of your heart.  Mitral valve regurgitation (MVR) is trivial (other descriptions slight, mild, etc) and almost always of no medical significance.  There is a mild leak of blood back into the upper chamber when the lower chamber pumps blood into circulation.  The condition almost never progresses nor have symptoms.

An EF at 58% (normal is 50 to 70%) indicates the amount of blood pumped with each heartbeat.

To provide some insight,  people who have MVP have no symptoms or medical problems and don't need treatment. These people are able to lead normal, active lives; they may not even know they have the condition.

A small number of people who have MVP may need medicines to relieve their symptoms. Very few people who have MVP need heart valve surgery to repair their mitral valves.

Rarely, MVP can cause complications such as arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) or infective endocarditis. Endocarditis is an infection of the inner lining of the heart chambers and valves. Bacteria that enter the bloodstream can cause the infection.

The fact you have a good EF parameter indicates no present problem and very little likelihood of any progression.

Thanks for year question and if you have any follow-up questions or comments you are welcome to respond. Happy New Year, take care.

Sounds like you pretty much got a green light to me.  Over 30 % of the entire population has mitral valve prolapse with w. trivial regurgitation that is pretty much the norm.  Your efection fraction is also well within normal limits.  I really wouldn't worry too much about what you've posted unless your doc tells you to.  I too have MVP and have never had an issue w. it and i am in my mid 50's and was diagnosed w. it in junior high school.  The one thing i can tell you that you may want to do is to just be sure that you get a physical once a year from your doc to make sure that there are no changes in the regurgitation or that the docs don't see a progressing prolapse...but believe me its pretty common...this would be one of those no worries moments unless your doc has told you otherwise........
