> May I ask how your MVP was diagnosed? I was wondering whether I suffered from it, though I don't know what the test would be. I recently had an ECG though (arrhythmia problems in the family and the doc wanted me to try a trycyclic) and that came back clear.
The best diagnostic test is an echocardiogram, with Doppler. The Doppler effect will show if blood is going the wrong way (back into the heart) when the valve should be fully closed.
