Q: Stage 2 heart valve leak

Hi, my mum has had heart trouble all her life and has been getting worse lately.
She's 54 and has had a pacemaker to help her heart for about 3 years now and they just found a stage2 leak in her heart valve.
She cant really move about much she gets short of breath and comes close to passing out just from standing and or walking, so i was just wandering what the recommended time between check ups should be and how close an eye the doctors should be keeping on her condition?
