Hi,
It's possible that the initial diagnosis of MVP was incorrect, as echocardiography technology and interpretation have improved over the years. Additionally, MVP can be a difficult diagnosis to make, as some people with MVP may have no symptoms at all, while others may have symptoms that are similar to other heart conditions.
However, it's also possible that your heart condition has changed over time, and the earlier diagnosis of MVP was accurate at the time it was made. It's not uncommon for heart conditions to develop or resolve over time, especially with treatment and lifestyle changes.
It's important to discuss your concerns with your healthcare provider, who can review your medical history and test results to determine whether the earlier diagnosis of MVP was accurate or not. They can also provide you with information on your current heart condition, as well as any recommended treatments or lifestyle changes to manage your PVCs.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
