Reports show AML prolapse. Is there a way to avoid mitral regurgitation developing?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Your ECG (electrocardiogram) is normal. In the echo, there is AML (anterior mitral leaflet) prolapse, which means there is slight backward bulging of the valve leaflet. This is mild and there is no leakage in the valve. The risk associated with this is of valve leakage called as mitral regurgitation and it is not there. In most of the individuals, it is benign and does not lead to any complications and some may develop leakages. In you, it less likely to develop leakage as it is not there at present. So, nothing to worry about it now, but get an echo once in three to five years just to keep a check over it. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.

Yes, you should have Telmikind H (Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide). This was increased as your BP is borderline. Out target is less than 140/90, preferably less than 130. So you should have it. And you just need to keep BP under control and no other action is needed to reduce the risk of mitral regurgitation. There is no such treatment available to stop mitral regurgitation from developing as it is a genetic defect. Overall, you should not worry much about it, but just keep watch over it. All the best.
