The answer is:  nobody knows for sure.  Some people go their whole lives with no change, and other people don't.  As long as your doctor is aware, and you follow his/her advice you should have no problems.  But if you ever feel faint or dizzy after exercise make certain to tell your physician right away.

I had a mildly leaky valve diagnosed 12 years ago and a recent echo has shown it is no worse now, so dont worry,
