What other: Tests or if you need a second opinion depend on what your symptoms are and what the docs are looking for. I can see you have had a previous MI and have stents and it sounds like your heart pumps normally but I don't know your question or current problem. I don't even know your meds. Sorry

No: This is not an uncommon finding on an echocardiogram and does not require further testing. Aortic regurgitation needs close follow up (repeat echocardiogram) in the future. Generally, it only becomes a problem if you have symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath on exertion or severe leg swelling. See your doctor for followup.
