Hello doctor. Currently I have type 2 diabetes, current blood sugar 12.7. In addition, I also have mitral regurgitation 1.5/4 and tricuspid valve 2/4. So the doctor asked me with my disease, can I apply the mitral valve replacement method? Please consult your doctor and give me advice. Thank you very much doctor.

Hello, sir. Mitral regurgitation 1.5/4 and tricuspid valve 2/4 are mild regurgitation, if the leaflets are soft, there is no treatment. If the leaflets are thickened and there is associated stenosis, then surgery should be considered depending on the stenosis, the size of the chambers, and the heart function.
