Prosthetic Mismatch?

I was fitted with a St Jude prosthetic in 1995 (aged 15) and sadly it seems that it may be beginning to wear and tear after 25 years great service. Am being referred for MRI scan and have now been prescribed beta-blockers. Anyone else experience a re-do / re-fit of prosthetic valve?
