Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I recently had an echocardiogram, and the results were normal. The only finding was trivial regurgitation of my mitral valve, which I was told was normal. My question is: Could this condition worsen over time? If so, what lifestyle changes can I make now to prevent that from happening? I am 42 years old.
Please advise.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Trivial mitral regurgitation is physiological, meaning it is normal. In the absence of structural heart abnormalities, it will not progress. Therefore, there is nothing to worry about, and no specific precautions are needed. You may continue with all your daily activities, including physical exercise.
Regards.
