What Are The Chances Of Inheriting Leaking Heart Valves From Mother?
My mother has 4 leaking heart valves and mitro valve prolapse. What are the odds that I and my siblings will inherit this condition? Also, are there any smart lifestyle choices we can make, supplements, etc., that can help to prevent this condition?

Hi,
The causes for leaking valves are different, you should ask the type and cause to your doctor. If it is inherited, it depends only on the type of the valve leakage.
Anyway, not to have problems in the future, I would advise you to follow healthy lifestyle, eat healthy, be active, do sports. Regulate your sleeping hours and work hours.
Take care
