I had a mitral valve prolapse repair 6 years ago. I recently went to my doctor for a checkup and he said that I have a heart murmer again. I do arobic exercise 3 days a week, during which I monitor my heart rate so that I stay within a good working zone. My question is should I continue to exercise? Is it bad to elevate my heart rate? Is exercise going to increase damage to the repaired valve?
