Does Mild Mitral And Tricuspid Regurgitation Need Medical Attention?

Diastolic dysfunction is not likely and mild mitral leak is not abnormality
Detailed Answer:
Dear Mrs,
Majority of healthy people have mild mitral and tricuspid regurgitation (leak), it is not an abnormality, it doesn't cause any harm.
About diastolic dysfunction I am not sure if it is really present. Nowadays it is frequently overdiagnosed. If you could attach the echo report, I could have a look to see if your doctor has evaluated diastolic dysfunction corectly based on European and XXXXXXX guidelines.
Grade I diastolic dysfunction is not dangerous, people live with it for decades without any complaints. But even for grade I diastolic dysfunction there should be an underlying disease, such as Arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, etc. As you have no other diseases, in your case diastolic dysfunction is not likely, and I tend to believe that you have a healthy heart.
Take care

Detailed Answer:
A person can live with stage I diastolic dysfunction without complaints, but still I am not sure about diastolic dysfunction, there are no measurements to prove it. Was there another sheet of paper attached with measurements? If yes please, attach it as well.

Detailed Answer:
There is no measurement in your echo report to evaluate diastolic function. One should perform mitral inflow measurements and tissue Doppler analyses to evaluate diastolic function.
Once there is no measurements and considering your age and no underlying condition, I think there is no diastolic dysfunction.
So, don't worry. You have a healthy heart.
Take care
