Mild mr in echo

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Did he have any chest pain or heart attack in the past, or is he diabetic? To summarize the report, it says there is a decreased functioning of the heart, which most commonly occurs due to coronary artery disease or sometimes due to the weakening of the heart muscle. So, he should get his evaluation done, ECG (electrocardiogram), lipid profile, sugars both fasting and post lunch, and angiography. He should be on medicine to prevent further decline in the heart functions which includes Aspirin, Clopidogrel, statins like Atorvastatin, beta blockers like Metoprolol, ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) inhibitor like Ramipril, and diuretics like Spironolactone, etc. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.

Many people with tricuspid regurgitation are very surprised to learn that they have a heart valve issue because they feel fine. Their healthcare providers are often as surprised as they are, and may not know what to make of it. Fortunately, it is usually pretty straightforward for your healthcare provider to quickly evaluate this issue, decide whether or not it's a real problem, and if so, how to manage it. The Tricuspid Valve and Tricuspid Regurgitation The tricuspid valve separates the right atrium from the right ventricle. Like all heart valves, the purpose of the tricuspid valve is to make sure blood flows through the heart at the right time and in the right direction. So, when the right atrium contracts, the tricuspid valve is forced open, to allow blood to flow into the right ventricle. Immediately afterward, when the right ventricle contracts to eject its blood into the pulmonary artery, the tricuspid valve closes to keep blood from leaking back into the right atrium. At least some tricuspid regurgitation can be detected in up to 70 percent of normal adults who have echocardiograms. As the right ventricle contracts, it takes a moment or two for a normal tricuspid valve to close completely, and during that moment a small whiff of blood leaks back into the right atrium. With today’s technology, the echocardiogram is often sensitive enough to detect that “normal” whiff of blood—and these individuals, whose valves are essentially normal, are often told they have tricusp...

Q: As per my echocardiography report the following were noted: Trivial MR, LVEF 59% and mild L.V.H. The other things are alright in the report. My BP is normal. What is wrong with my heart? A:Trivial MR (Mitral regurgitation), Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) 59% and mild Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) could be present for a number of reasons and calls for no treatment. However, serial echocardiographic follow up should be done anually to make sure that this mitral regurgitation (leak in the valve) does not progressively increase. Your function of the heart is normal and LVH suggests thickening of the muscles of the heart, which could be present in any patient who has high blood pressure also, which is quite common. I think, a thorough clinical examination is certainly warranted and you must consult your cardiologist also, but theoretically everything looks to be in order.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have gone through your reports ( attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). Except for mitral valve prolapse (MVP) with mild PR interval, nothing abnormal is mentioned in summary. Regarding this MVP with mild mitral valve regurgitation (MR), it is in the early stages and causing a slight backflow of blood across the valve. Therefore, it requires treatment when backflow (regurgitation) increases severely. However, it does not progress to that level in most individuals requiring no treatment. So in my opinion, there is nothing to worry about at present. However, you should undergo an Echo after every three to five years just to keep watch over it. As you mentioned, TMT was also normal then; it suggests that the cause for your symptoms is not cardiac. Instead, it is likely related to anxiety. I hope this helps you, and get back to me if you have any more doubts or more information to share. Hi, Welcome back to icliniq.com. Yes, Petril beta (Clonazepam 0.25 mg and Propranolol 10 mg) is fine, and it should be tapered off whenever symptoms are controlled. Now improving your diet is the best way to increase weight. Taking all meals, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner, is important on time and in adequate quantities. Some activities like walking or brisk walking after each meal help in digestion. Spicy and oily products should not be consumed in high quantities as they can hamper digestion. However, if weight loss is rapid, say in less...

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Your echo report ( attachment removed to protect the patient's identity) says moderate MVP (mitral valve prolapse), NO MR (mitral regurgitation) (there is no MR, but you wrote in your question mild MR). Anyways MVP is by birth, and we can just follow up with an echo yearly or whenever any specific symptoms like breathing difficulty. In your case, there is no MR - it is good, but MVP can cause raised heart rate, so your doctor prescribed you that medicine (it has medicine for anxiety and heart rate both). If this does not control the rate, I suggest you change medicine. Tablet Concor 2.5 mg (Bisoprolol 2.5 mg) once a day. (It will control heart rate; you will mostly not have anxiety once your heart rate is controlled.) The second thing is in your TMT (treadmill test). I see significant changes that do not seem normal to me; kindly ask your doctor to review the report, especially during the peak exercise stage. Have a nice day. Hi, Welcome back to icliniq.com. Yeah, in peak exercise, there are significant ST changes (ST depression), which suggests TMT (treadmill test) is positive. It suggests you may need a CAG (coronary angiogram), or you can repeat TMT if there are no symptoms of chest pain while walking or exertion. Did you feel any chest pain or discomfort during TMT? Just ask your doctor for a review as you have to take a second opinion from other doctors (me). Regards. Post a query Consult by Phone Consult by Video Related Questions: Faintin...
