How Can A Leaky Heart Valve Be Treated?
My husband had a quadruple bypass nine years ago. He is 65, has diabetes, and has some leakage in one of his heart valves and is tired a lot as a result. I m wondering if he should consider the surgery for that, risks, and life expectancy if he does have.

Hello,
Consult a cardiologist and get evaluated.
You have to get an echo test done. If pumping action is fine, nothing much to worry.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
