Mild mitral regurgitation is physiological you do not have to worry. If this sign is present on the electrocardiogram or on the echocardiogram, then you should see if you have symptoms of angina in the chest area below the left breast, whether the pain is related to exertion. If you have pain, you should see a cardiologist for advice on coronary artery disease and other exploratory tests such as stress ECG or CT coronary angiography.
