Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the 2d echo you have mentioned.
It is showing age related changes in mitral valve.
So if she is doing good with medicines then no need to go for surgery.
Surgery (mitral valve replacement) will cost you around 1.5 lakhs.
But it is indicated only in patient when conservative treatment (medicines) does not work.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
