Patients with MVP and documented absence of mitral regurgitation or valvular thickening likely do not need antibiotic prophylaxis against subacute bacterial endocarditis (SBE).
Does mitral valve prolapse require antibiotic prophylaxis?
Rationale and Comments: Antibiotic prophylaxis is no longer indicated in patients with mitral valve prolapse for prevention of infective endocarditis. The risk of antibiotic-associated adverse effects exceeds the benefit (if any) from prophylactic antibiotic therapy.
Does mitral valve prolapse need premedication?
Some can be due to mitral valve prolapse(MVP). The 2007 AHA Infective Endocarditis Guidelines specifically no longer recommend that patients with MVP be premedicated, whether or not they have regurgitation or thickened valve leaflets, nor does it recommend premedicating for heart murmurs.
