In most cases, the amount of blood that is able to flow back through the system is minimal. This means that, in many cases, the patient will not feel any adverse effects of the condition and will not be aware they even have a leaky valve.
In fact, a leaky heart valve is quite a common condition and even many sportspeople will have one. It is not even uncommon for people to have more than one valve that’s leaky without being aware. In some cases, a leaky heart valve is only detected when the patient is being examined for something else.
