I had an echo, dr found murmur results showed trivial regurgitation. I guess my anxiety comes from the fact that all the sudden she notices it everytime i have an exam, does this mean its gotten worse? I'm 32 and I just find it strange it was never noticed before. What is the follow up procedure? I was told I don't need to do any follow-up and no prophylaxis before dental or other procedures. Can this condition get worse over time?

Dear Debih2,
WHat do you notice when you have an exam...i didn't get that? in other words...what went wrong that made you do an echo?!
many normal/healthy people have trivial valve regurgitation.......so you don't need follow up or prophylaxis...although dentists always give antibiotics prior to dental extraction...whether you have a heart problem or not ...so don't worry about that :wink:
Best regards,
