Can mitral valve disease heal on its own?

Common mitral valve diseases include mitral stenosis, mitral valve closure insufficiency, mitral valve prolapse, mitral atresia insufficiency, etc., which generally cannot be self-healing. 1. Mitral valve stenosis: patients may be asymptomatic or manifested as dyspnea, cough, hemoptysis, etc. Patients generally can not be self-healing, mildly asymptomatic, no special treatment, but not strenuous activities. For patients with obvious symptoms, surgery to repair or replace the diseased valve is the main treatment method, such as percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty, mitral valve separation surgery, artificial valve replacement. 2. Mitral valve insufficiency: chronic patients may be asymptomatic, or have symptoms such as dyspnea, fatigue, etc. Patients with acute attacks may have symptoms such as acute left heart failure, acute pulmonary edema and cardiogenic shock. Usually it can not be self-healing, you can apply captopril, enalapril, torasemide and other drugs to alleviate the symptoms, if necessary, mitral valve replacement, mitral valve repair and so on. Specific medication should follow the doctor’s prescription. 3. Mitral valve prolapse: The onset of the disease is slow and patients may be asymptomatic. Patients may also have palpitations (rapid heartbeat, often accompanied by panic), fatigue, dyspnea and other symptoms. The disease is also generally not self-curable. Symptoms can be relieved with atenolol, metoprolol, etc. Surgery is also necessary. Specific medication needs to follow the doctor’s prescription. In summary, in general, mitral valve disease can not be self-cured, it is recommended that patients have symptoms in a timely and standardized treatment.
