The best way to protect against mitral valve regurgitation is to quickly address any of the conditions listed above that could cause the disorder. You should discuss any history of heart valve disease with your doctor. Your doctor may prescribe antibiotic therapy to be taken prior to any medical or dental procedures that could introduce infective agents into your blood. This includes normal cleaning of your teeth. Ask your doctor if you have any questions about if this applies to you. Treat strep infections promptly to prevent rheumatic fever.
