Hi,
You probably have aortic regurgitation, surgery will be done if you are having symptoms like shortness of breath. Also, surgery decision depends upon your ejection fraction if less than 50%, and dimension of left ventricle at end diastole is more than 50 mm. So under these conditions surgery should be done otherwise 6 monthly to yearly echo should be done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
