Last 2 echo results say aortic valve: the aortic valve leaflets are mildly thickened. mild aortic leaflet calcification is visualized. there is no evidence of aortic stenosis. there is no evidence of aortic regurgitation. should i be worried ?

How far apart in time were the tests done? If the valve is not increasing in thickness or calcification over time, it is less worrisome, given there is no evidence of stenosis or regurgitation. It likely will be monitored by your cardiologist so continue to follow up with cardiology and repeat the echo as recommended. Good luck to you!
