A member asked:
I was diagnosed 12months ago with a minor leak in my mitral valve, is safe for me too run? my gp didn't make much of it so though i'd seek 2nd opinion

Yes: A minor leak across the mitral valve is very common, and should not cause you any physical limitations or symptoms. Your dod will likely want to recheck this with another echo in 2-3 years. Live your life normally.
