Monitoring
Asymptomatic patients are closely monitored for risk factors such as hypertension.
Post-treatment follow-up is necessary following mitral valve repair or replacement to assess the effectiveness of the repair early. The recommended first visit is around 3 to 4 weeks after the operation and then yearly in asymptomatic patients. Baseline echo is essential at 3 to 4 weeks.
