I have a redundant anterior mitral leaflet without a prolapse, what does this mean?

Nothing really. : This really doesn't mean much, just that the person reading the echo thought that the mitral valve tissue looks a little "floppy." nonetheless, it sounds like your valve is functioning fine and that is what matters most. Some mitral valves are prolapsed (pushed up into the atrium or upper heart chamber), but yours is not, which is good. Sounds to me like you will live a long and healthy life.
