A member asked:

What can be done about 4 leaky heart valves?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: on the reason(s) the valves leak, how much, heart function, age, and other medical problems/history. I would recommend seeing a physician.

I had heart cath done -the results -23mmHG peak to peak gradient across the aortic valve on pullback and the LVEDP is 17mmHG - the LV systolic and diastolic pressures are elevated. I also have POTS and NCS. Does this test suggest valve replacement?
