A member asked:
My echocardiogram said i have anterior leaflet thickening of the mitral valve--what does that mean?

Non specific & : Subjective finding. Is there mitral valve dysfunction? In most cases without dysfunction it means little if anything & occurs with aging.

Incidental finding: Anterior leaflet thickening is not an uncommon finding and is usually seen incidentally. It is of little clinical significance if it is not associated with more than mild regurgitation or "leakage" of the mitral valve, restriction in opening of the valve, or other structural heart disease. So essentially, if the rest of the echo is normal probably nothing to worry about.
