A member asked:

Will cardio excercise cause a weakened heart valve to start leaking ? will excercise cause heart valve leakage if you have a weakened mitral valve.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If for example: You have mitral valve prolapse, an exercise aerobic regimen will increase your cardiopulmonary capacity without worsening your heart valve problem. I always recommend a physician approval of your exercise plan if a person have any heart condition.
