A member asked:

What happens to someone who have mitral and tricupsid insufficiency?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Often nothing: It really depends on the amount of insufficiency. Therre are many people with mild insufficiency that never need anything done to their valves. If it worsens then it can lead to heart failure. This can cause fatigure, shortness of breath, leg swelling, funny heart rhythms and more. Check with your doctor.
