If you have 1/4 and 2/4 heart valve regurgitation on ultrasound, you have absolutely no symptoms (chest pain, shortness of breath on exertion, limited physical activity. ..), heart function is good, then you don't need to take any medicine. In case you have to take drugs prescribed by your doctor (vasodilators), the drug has no absolute contraindications in patients with varicose veins of the lower extremities, and there are no studies showing that the drug causes aggravate vasodilatation of the lower extremities.
