What happens if heart valves are not functioning properly?

If the valve doesn't close fully, the blood will leak back into the heart instead of forwards into the body. This is called valve incompetence, valve regurgitation or a leaky valve. These problems can put extra strain on your heart and make your heart work harder.

Do heart valve problems show up on ECG?

Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) An EKG can detect an irregular heartbeat, signs of a previous heart attack, and whether your heart chambers are enlarged. These changes can be signs of heart valve problems.

What does a leaky heart valve feel like?

It is the most common type of heart valve disease (valvular heart disease). If the leakage is severe, not enough blood will move through the heart or to the rest of the body. As a result, mitral valve regurgitation can make you feel very tired (fatigued) or short of breath.

What is the most common heart valve abnormality?

Mitral valve prolapse - when one of the valves, the mitral valve, has "floppy" flaps and doesn't close tightly. It's one of the most common heart valve conditions. Sometimes it causes regurgitation.
