I have cardiomyopathy with mitral valve regurgitation. My last echo showed a false positive of 45%. I know that I have a dilated atrium and and have been fighting this monster for more that thirty years. My team in San Antonio now feel I my be a candidate for a mitral valve clip. I asymtomatic and suffer little of the classic symptoms .i was the typical weekend athlete that ran 5 miles a day,weight lifted ,wrestled, and even at one point tried with a pro football team. I am curious to find out how successful this procedure is with a patient like me who has been with this conition gor so long can expect a better life style.
