Your doctor will take your history and perform a physical exam. Your doctor will listen to your heart for a murmur. He/she may also listen to your lungs for signs of fluid buildup. Your doctor might also look for signs of right-sided heart failure, which might include ankle edema, enlarged liver, distended neck veins, or other symptoms. Certain diagnostic tests or imaging methods are useful in diagnosing mitral valve regurgitation.
