A member asked:
Does an ultra sound of the heart show any blockages ? i'm worried i am short of breath a lot and was told i have leaky valve .
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get an ultrasound: Ultrasound of the heart does not show blockage in the arteries but given that you have a leaky valve you should get ultrasound to check if leakage has worsened and/ or is affecting pressures or function of heart. You should start an exercise regimen and gradually build up your strength as well.
