Hi. You have not provided the complete echo report. Repair of valve is always better than replacement in mvp. Surgery in mvp is always done before the development of left ventricle dilation. Perhaps u have developed some element of heart failure as your symptoms are. Do not waste further time. Do surgery as soon as possible. Because this disease will progress and cause heart failure PAH atrial fibrillation. Take care.
