Question 1

just diagnosed with trivial/mild tricuspid stenosis. is this a rare disease? what is the typical progression? can it stay mild? i'm worrying so much.

Accepted Answer

Talk to cardiologist: Trivial tricuspid stenosis is not hemodynamically significant. Is it a Echocardiogrphic diagnosis?  Any symptoms?

One of the common causes for benign murmurs.

Question 2

i have shortness of breath. in my cardiac mri i noticed that it said mild mr and mitral regurgitant volume 16 ml and fraction 20%, and no mitral stenosis. it also said trivial tricuspid regurgitation, and no tricuspid stenosis. can these be treated?

Accepted Answer

: The findings of mild mitral regurgitation (regurgutant volume 16ml and fraction 20%)  can hardly explain shortness of breath and does not require any treatment, just monitoring. Trivial tricuspid regurgitation is a normal finding on many people. Further work up is needed to investigate shortness of breath.

Question 3

do both tricuspid valve stenosis and regurgitation result in hypertrophy in the right atrium?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Tricuspid stenosis is more likely to cause hypertrophy (thickening) of the right ventricle, whereas tricuspid regurgitation is more likely to cause dilatation, where the chamber increases in volume without much thickening.

Question 4

echo results:concentric lvh w/ adeq systolic function, dilated left atrium, mild tricuspid reg, pulmonic reg. mixd plaques no stenosis found. pls expln.

Accepted Answer

More info: So i'm a little confused because an echocardiogram can't really see plaques. I can explain the concentric lvh: this means that the heart muscle is thickened; the most common reasons are because of longstanding high blood pressure or narrowing of the aortic valve.

Question 5

summary of my resent echogram;
1-low normal left ventricular function. ejection fraction is est.52%
2-mild left atrial enlargement.
3-mild to moderate aortic valve regurgition.
4-moderate aortic valve stenosis.
5-mild tricuspid valve regurgitation.
6-mode

Accepted Answer

Need cardiologist!: There are a number of concerning findings on your echocardiogram. The left ventricular function (how strong your pump is) is just a little low; I'm not that concerned about that. The valves, especially aortic, are the biggest problem: to have both aortic regurgitation (back flow across the valve) and narrowing (stenosis) is very concerning. Follow up soon with your cardiologist. Good wishes:)

Question 6

what causes spinal stenosis?

Accepted Answer

Several things: Spinal stenosis can be congenital but is also acquired with aging, or trauma, by either arthritis, herniated discs or even vertebral collapse as people age, which can result in vertebra slipping across each other which can cause stenosis too. It is important to see a neurosurgeon for evaluation, or a orthopedist who specializes in the spine, for full evaluation and treatment, surgery is an option.

Question 7

what are the causes mitral stenosis ?

Accepted Answer

Rheumaic fever: Usually repeated strep infections as a child lead to rheumatic fever which can scar the heart and make the valve thickened and hard to open.

Question 8

what is the cause of pyloric stenosis?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: We have known how to diagnose and teat pyloric stenosis since 1904, but we still do not know the cause or how to prevent it.

Question 9

can spinal stenosis cause permanent damage?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Spinal stenosis is a condition where arthritic changes in the spine cause narrowing of the spinal canal and outflow tracts of the spinal nerves. With time, continuing pressure on the nerves or spinal cord can cause pemanent damage. However, many cases of spinal stenosis can be successfully treated with medications, injections, or surgery.

Question 10

what is stenosis disease ? can it cause seizures?

Accepted Answer

Stenosis of what?: "stenosis" just means "narrowing." renal artery stenosis can cause seizures by way of extreme hypertension, and aqueductal stenosis by causing hydrocephalus; can't off hand think of any other type of stenosis that could cause seizures directly.
