Hello there I have read through your question and understand your concern. You should first consult a cardiologist and get your ECHO done to know the severity of your defect and also to know the ejection fraction. It is correct of you to worry about hereditary transmission and it is a good idea to get your children s ECHO done too. Meanwhile you should avoid strenuous activity and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Do daily light exercise in the form of brisk walking. Take a low salt and low cholesterol diet. You have to consult a cardiologist for advice regarding valve replacement. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write. Thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
