Hi,
I read your query and would like to suggest to make a full cardiologic examination including CT-angiography and coronary angiography to determine the severity of the situation and the best way to deal with that.
Based on your angiography findings and your echo data (3 regurgitating valves) I will probably suggest to go for CABG (by-pass surgery).
