hello
thanks for writing,
MVP is not a serious condition , it is not life threatening as such but in some people it may cause tachycardia, in those patients doctor prescribes medications like beta blockers, I would suggest you not to panic, if you have frequent episodes of palpitations you can use the blocker regularly if you do not have regular palpitations you can just use the medication when ever you have the problem of palpitation. everything seems to be fine.
Best regards.
