A member asked:
Does some leakage of heart valves show in everyones hert echo?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: Trace to mild amount of leakage is considered normal in right heart valves. It is not uncommon to see trace amount of leakage on the left side in normal individuals. Leakage of the valves is also somewhat dynamic depending on pressures, can be seen at times but not all the time.
