Hello,
With the question “Is mitral regurgitation dangerous? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The doctor does not know your age, but with the above echocardiography results, you have mild mitral regurgitation, soft valves may not be caused by rheumatic heart disease. If you do not have related symptoms (chest tightness, dyspnea and normal ECG, you do not need medication) but you should monitor, visit a cardiologist every year and when abnormal.
If you still have questions about mitral valve prolapse, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
