Prognosis of mitral valve prolapse in 10 year old?

[Ipshita]

Hello, my neighbor's son is 10 years old. He was suffering from a racing, skipping heart beat, shortness of breath with difficulty breathing, and overall fatigue accompanied by a “tight feeling” in his chest. His symptoms began two days ago with a general feeling of tiredness. He was transferred to the cardiac ICU by the emergency department and doctor diagnosed mitral valve prolapse. Doctor said that there is no treatment available for this condition. I want to know the Prognosis of mitral valve prolapse in 10 year old. Please help.

@ipshita A child who has an arrhythmia (an abnormal heart rhythm) in addition to MVP may need to take medicine to help regulate the heart's rhythm. However, this is not common in kids. Leakage due to MVP may continue over years; very rarely, a child might need surgery to repair a very leaky mitral valve. Patients with MVP and palpitations associated with mild tachyarrhythmias or increased adrenergic symptoms and those with chest pain, anxiety or fatigue often respond to therapy with beta blockers. Orthostatic symptoms related to postural hypotension and tachycardia are best treated with volume expansion, preferably by increasing fluid and salt intake. Mineralocorticoid therapy may be needed in severe cases. Wearing support stockings may also be helpful.
