Hello doctor! My wife went for an echocardiogram at the hospital and found that there was a 1/4 heart valve regurgitation. The doctor asked me, do I need to treat 1/4 heart valve regurgitation and dangerous disease? I sincerely thank.

Hello! Mild mitral, tricuspid, and pulmonary valve regurgitation is normal, and it affects most people. Therefore, your wife does not need any treatment unless the doctor concludes that there is a pathological regurgitation such as: rheumatic heart disease, heart tumor....
To be more sure, you can also take your wife to a cardiologist - Hospitals under Vinmec Health System for doctors to check and get more advice on whether it is necessary to treat 1/4 heart valve regurgitation or not?
Wish your family always healthy. Best regards!
