Trying to get answer about trivial heart valve leakage not having any problems from?

Trivial: When this term is used, it is an assessment that the leakage is not of any significance to the patient. With the advancing sophistication of tests like color doppler echo, the doctors are able to screen patients and quantify issues that were elusive in the past.This is basically good news.

I think you : Are talking trivial as a mild leakage or regurgitation. If its just mild, without chest pain on activities, shortness of breath, or other symptoms you are probably ok. But without knowing which valve, it will very difficult to recommend. If the problem is a tricuspid valve you need to talk to your cardiologist for better assessment.
