Hi doctor,
My mom is 46 years old. She recently had her routine physical examinations and they found out her mitral valve could not close fully, but very light degree. The doctor there thinks that she does not need a surgery and he did not mention anything else. So, I really want a second opinion on this. Does she need a surgery? What should she do now to improve her health?

Thank you doctor,
As she is in another country now, I managed to send you the vital information about the echo report. Hopefully that will be sufficient for you to diagnose. Thank you.

Thank you doctor,
What medicine should she take? Can medication cure her condition? Are you sure that she will need to get the surgery one day?
