Hi,

Incomplete data like age, gender, purpose of doing echo, any associated symptoms, etc not mentioned. Suggestive of mitral valve prolapse. Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) occurs when the leaflets of the mitral valve bulge (prolapse) into the heart's left upper chamber (left atrium) during the heart's contraction. There is associated blood leaking backward into the left atrium, a condition called mitral valve regurgitation. In most people, this condition does not require treatment, some people with mitral valve prolapse, however, require treatment. You are advised to consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
