How Is Mitral Valve Prolapse Treated? |
Most people who have mitral valve prolapse don’t need treatment. However, some people who have troublesome mitral valve backflow may be treated with medicines such as blood thinners, digoxin, diuretics, heart rhythm regulators, and vasodilators. People with an abnormal valve and significant backflow may need surgery, such as a valve repair and valve replacement or a transcatheter valve therapy procedure. |

CPAP |
CPAP is a treatment that uses mild air pressure to keep your breathing airways open. It involves using a CPAP machine that includes a mask or other device that fits over your nose or your nose and mouth, straps to position the mask, a tube that connects the mask to the machine’s motor, and a motor that blows air into the tube. |

Electrocardiogram |
An electrocardiogram, also called an ECG or EKG, is a simple, painless test that detects and records your heart’s electrical activity. An EKG can show how fast your heart is beating, whether the rhythm of your heartbeats is steady or irregular, and the strength and timing of the electrical impulses passing through each part of your heart. |
