Hello,
With the question “Is mitral valve regurgitation 2.5/4 okay? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Your echocardiogram results stand out as the condition: moderate valve regurgitation and not causing other complications (such as dilated heart chambers, or pulmonary hypertension, ...). Other than that, you have no other comorbidities.
Regarding short-term and long-term risk prognosis, the literature has not recorded sudden death due to mitral regurgitation. However, the effects of mitral regurgitation can range from asymptomatic (i.e., no fatigue, dyspnea on exertion) to symptomatic (eg, fatigue, dyspnea on exertion, or progress to appear during normal activity, or at rest); Echocardiographic findings may vary, such as: more regurgitation, dilated chambers, pulmonary hypertension, and decreased inotropic force (EF).
Therefore, whether or not to treat at this point depends on whether you have clinical symptoms or not, and you should be consulted and monitored by a Cardiologist.
In order to have a good prognosis, you need to change your living habits accordingly, have a reasonable diet (limited: salty, high in fat, sugar), exercise regularly, and check your health. Periodic and follow-up visits to a Cardiologist.
If you still have questions about mitral valve prolapse 2.5/4, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
