When my family was told that my mom would need mitral valve repair we were all a little taken aback because my mom was usually in stellar health and never really complained of many health problems throughout the years I had known her. We were also worried because having a damaged mitral valve could cause heart failure and atrial fibrillation which could both be deadly. We asked the doctor about our options for mitral valve repair and he said the only option was to have her operated on by a very skilled surgeon to have the valve fixed. While we took the time to think about the procedure I did quite a bit of research on what all was involved in the surgery and the chances of everything working out in the end. Thanks to a great site I found, I was well-educated on mitral valve repair when the day came.
