What happens if a heart valve doesn't close all the way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If a valve doesn't : close properly, it will tend to leak. the amount and consequences of leakage can depend on a lot of things, like heart size and function, as well as your blood pressure. for more details, see a doctor.
