Not really: Trace to mild regurgitation on echocardiogram is likely not the cause of your auscultated "murmur" as that would be very hard to hear. I suspect your doctor thought there was a murmur, and it turns out not to be clinically significant. If you are truly asymptomatic: no SOB, no chest pain, etc., then no need for cardio based on this finding alone. As for preventative care, ensure lipids really norm

Family history oF SCD. Personal history or NSVT. Echo revealed mild mitral valve leaflet thickening. There is flattening of the mitral valve leaflets without frank prolapse. There is trace mitral regurgitation. How concerning is this ?

A 23-year-old female asked:
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?

Had ECHO done to rule out any adverse reason for RBBB. Came back as 'Normal Study'. There was trivial mitral valve regurgitation. Common? at risk?

Heart murmur with normal echocardiogram. Only showed trace mitral & tricuspid valve regurgitation. Does this mean murmur is benign?

Had a doppler echo for evaluation of murmur. Looking at report says aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valve normal. But is says nothing about the pulmonic valve. Nothing at all. This normal?

Had an echo for small murmur. Came back normal. But on report it lists aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valves normal. But there is no mention of the pulmonary valve. Not anywhere. Why is this?
