A member asked:

Can doctors hear or only see trace mitral regurgitation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See not hear: Mitral regurgitation has to be fairly significant to hear it. On the other hand, echoes are so doggone sensitive, they can see a drop of regurgitation.

My doctor suspects I have Lupus and sent me for an echo. Results normal except for "anterior mitral valve leaflet is long and slightly thickened". No prolapse or regurgitation. What would cause long/thickened leaflet? Lupus or something else? Thanks?
