Accepted Answer

Yes/uncertain: Untreated disease will eventually lead to heart failure/death. Timing is unpredictable and effect of treatment varies with individual patients. You need to get into treatment and educate yourself as much as possible about what you can do for yourself.Complacency can only speed up a poor outcome.

hey i have two questions and i need detailed answer? 1-mild regurgitation for a 33years old guy ,is it normal ?and how much abnormal this finding? 2- the progression rate for mild aortic regurgitation,does it take years or decades to become severe?

Accepted Answer

: Depending on the "mildness" may be normal.  AI progression rate will depend on cause as well as BP and lipid levels.  I would ask Dr who knows details in folks like you,  who live where you live and have listened to you for murmurs and reviewed the echo.

Question 3

from cardiologist perspective: do they often encounter mild aortic regurgitation in younger patients 40yr or less or is it common in elderly people? does mild aortic regurgitation differ between young and old people in terms of progression, prognosis?

Accepted Answer

GE reflux : Gastroesphageal reflux ( GE reflux) happens often in newborns, estimated at up to 80 % of babies, but seldom does it cause severe illness. ( Gastroesophageal reflux disease - GERD). It usually improves and subsides by the age of 6 months, but in some cases can last up to 12 months...

Question 5

what does mild triscuspid regurgitation mean?

Accepted Answer

Leaks a little: If fluid leaks back after it is pushed through a valve it is called regurgitation. Small amounts of such backwash are often seen with high resolution echo-cardiograms. It does not necessarily mean anything bad but must be taken in context of why the study was done & what they were looking for. Also, mild is a relative term, how much does the examiner need to see before it is not mild.

Question 7

Regurgitation: If the regurgitation is mild, longevity is possible, if the regurgitation is large volume then eventual CHF is likely and a need for intervention will color the natural history.

Question 8

i have mvp regurgitation. how often may it not pose a problem?

Accepted Answer

It depends: It depends on how bad the regurgitation and prolapse are. Very mild prolapse and regurgitation are quite common, and most people with this go their entire lives without it causing a problem. If it is moderate or severe, it can require medication and/or surgery.

Question 9
