I'm not sure about the management of MVP esp. as it's considered a benign phenomenon. So I thought I'd present my questions as clinical vignettes, as we all prefer this format. Anyone can help us with these?
CASE 1

A) Chest X-ray
B) EKG
C) Echocardiography
D) Reassurance
CASE 2
A 26-year-old woman presents with left-sided chest pain that 'comes every now and then' and persists for 5-10 seconds. It's not related to effort. She also says she has anxiety. Physical exam is unremarkable except for a midsystolic click at the apex. What's the most appropriate next step to be taken?
A) Chest X-ray
B) EKG
