Eman,
I am glad you brought this subject up. You are correct in saying that currently those who have any heart condition, be it MVP or heart murmur, irregular heartbeat, the list goes on, before dental work is antibiotics. Any person who would take the chance of infecting thier heart by not taking antibiotics should just play russian roulette. The risk is too great, we are talking about your bloodstream here! When dental work is involved the bacteria can easily access the entire body and as you said pool in the heart.
Lisa,
With all due respect, your condition may not be the same as the next person with MVP. Please just be careful what you relay here. If anyone is willing to take a chance based on your diagnosis and what your DR told you, then that would not be good. A person with palpatations are also at risk for blood clots, which can travel to the brain stem and cause stroke, or even get lodged in the coronary arteries and cause a heart attack. I realize you added a disclaimer already, I just felt the need to reiterate what you said. Your condition is not that severe and seems to only be noticeable when pregnant. There are others who have a more severe form of MVP, and your DR's advice would not be the same for them.
