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. |

Pneumonia - Diagnosis |
Your doctor will diagnose pneumonia based on your medical history, a physical exam, and results from certain diagnostic tests such as a chest x ray, blood tests, or blood culture. Your doctor may recommend other tests—sputum test, chest computed tomography (CT) scan, pleural fluid culture, pulse oximetry, or bronchoscopy—if you're in the hospital, have serious symptoms, are older, or have other health problems. |

Holter and Event Monitors |
Holter and event monitors are small, portable electrocardiogram devices that record your heart’s electrical activity for long periods of time while you do your normal activities. These monitors can record 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. |
