I really can't say for sure what the results mean since I'm not a doctor. The valve regurgitation is mild which is a good thing. Many people have trace or mild valve problems and doctors will monitor it. What it doesn't describe is how severe is the sclerosis or the enlargement of the left atrium. Those would be good questions to ask. When does he go back in to hear about the results?
