Question: My son in 19 years did Echo heart-found mitral valve prolapse with regulgitatsiey. problems with his heart since birth, cyanosis nasolabial treugolntka, this was the reason for seeking a cardiologist. ECG always-sinus arrhythmia with early repolarization of the ventricles with the elements of myocardial hypoxia. We have moved to live in Taganrog. And here at the ECHO-prolapse is not confirmed. A cardiogram is the same. WHY?? But the equipment at the Katori examined differently. He was taken to the Army. Now he is in the hospital for examination in Kamyshin Volgograd region. Can not find prolapse, if not modern equipment. The fact that he was in airborne troops. Although military enlistment he was sent to others, and at the regional transit point in the VDV was a shortage and there he was taken away. If prolapse find? His commission, but if not it will be there. JUNE 2, will do an echo.
Answer: In the military hospital diagnostic equipment sufficiently modern. If the diagnosis: Mitral valve prolapse of 1 degree, this is not a contraindication for service in the army. I understand your concern, but hardly anything I can help. Doctors on the ground know better.
