Hi Deb,
I don't know if this is something that happens with BAV, but I too noticed on my last echo that 3 out of the 4 valves now show mild regurgitation and the 4th has mod. regurg (pulmonary valve). If it concerns you, don't hesitate to talk to your cardiologist about it.
I have been told that most people have 'trivial' regurgitation in at least one valve and this is considered 'normal'.

my doc said to me once that as we get older our heart valves often present a bit of regurgitation, and its really nothing to be too concerned about.
