Mild aortic regurgitation means that your aortic valve has mild leakage which generally requires no treatment and the long term prognosis should be good. You have mild to moderate thickening of the left ventricle and this most commonly is due to high blood pressure. Control of the blood pressure can lead to regression of the left ventricular hypertrophy in some cases.
