microvalve leak
i have a mild micro valve leak which has not changed for the last 2 years. i also have high blood pressure which is now under control with medication. what causes you to have a leak and how do you prevent it from getting worse
Mild, trivial, trace are references to a valve leak. It is almost never causes any symptoms and seldom progesses. Not an uncommon finding and many individuals have the minor leakage. This happens because the leaflets that close over the valve opening do not close as tightly as a valve that has no leakage. There is a scant loss of blood that would normally be pumped into circulation if there wasn't any leakage. There is no treatement and considered medically insignificant.
