A member asked:

Can i dive with closed asd and moderate mitral regurgitation? only on xarelto. possibly in afib but far and few between. thanks.

How deep?: Diving in a swimming pool is likely okay, but I would not recommend deep sea diving. You have enough health issues to not take risks.

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?
