Question 1

can mild mitral stenosis be seen on an ecg? if so, which wave.

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Mild stenosis may not have hemodynamic impact that would change ecg.

Question 2

i recently underwent a echocardiogram what does these results mean spectral doppler velocity of mitral valve inflow abnormal with reversal of  the e and a wave amplitude ratio tissue doppler velocity of mitral valve annulus abnormal with reversal of  the

Accepted Answer

Based : Based on what you have copied above, you probably have mild or grade i diastolic dysfunction, or stiffening, of the left ventricle (the pumping chamber of your heart).  This can be abnormal or can actually be normal/expected, depending on your age.  Risk of diastolic dysfunction increases with high blood pressure, obesity and coronary disease, but seeing it on an echo usually doesn't require specific treatment in and of itself.  I would encourage you to discuss with your cardiologist, if you have one.

Question 3

my doc said abnormal t wave is normal with mitral valve prolapse, as are palpitations.  thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: A lot of things are attributed to MVP that actually just don't have any good explanation. PVCs are common and MVP is often blamed but the causal link is very hard to prove. Regarding your T wave, it depends on what it actually looks like: there are alot of ways for a T wave to look abnormal.  Please re-read what I said about palpitations and MVP  - that goes for T waves too.

Question 4

non st t waves changes , issue with atrial flutter , newly mitral regurgitation . are they all tied together somehow. history ofchest pain , cabg , stent . should more testing be done ?

Accepted Answer

EKG: These changes may be associated with symptoms so I would suggest you let your cardiologist make  the diagnosis as to whether these changes are of any consequence

Question 5

mitral valve prolapse with inverted t waves. is it related? am i at risk of sudden cardiac death? how do i stop it

Accepted Answer

There are many: causes of inverted T-waves including normal. This is not necessarily related to your MVP nor is it necessarily predictive of an adverse event. You should discuss these concerns with your health care provider since he/she has all of your health information and can make a more informed opinion for you.

Question 6

had an ekg done. t wave inversion in lead v1, v2 and v3. mild mitral regurgitation. and they thought perhaps right ventricular hypertrophy. normal?

Accepted Answer

ECG: that pattern can be persistent Juvenile T wave pattern which is benign. On the other hand without seeing the ecg obvioiusly can't really say what it is.

Question 7

had abnormal ekg. t wave inversion in lead v1, v2 and v3. mild mitral regurgitation. and they think right ventricular hypertrophy.  is this normal?

Accepted Answer

You answered that : You correctly described your ECG as abnormal, so, no it's not normal. The ecg changes you described don't necessarily mean RVH. And mild MR doesn't cause RVH so I wonder if you're a bit confused. If you had an echo and it didn't show RVH then you're done. Ask your provider to explain the findings.

Question 8

ekg left atrial enlargement, nonspecific t wave abnormality, echo done trace mitral regurg, tricuspid regurg. pericardial effusion global.is my heart ok?

Accepted Answer

More info needed: I am assuming echo is showing pericardial effusion and global? Or maybe global hypohypokinesia? Any wall motion abnormalities? Ejection fraction? Do u have any symptoms? At rest or with activities? Any other risk factors? Smoker, overweight, dm, htn, high chol, family history heart attacks, sedentary life etc.  Any prior heart attacks? Stress test done. Any recent viral infection? Pericarditis?

Question 9

what is moderate mitral incompetence? what causes it?

Accepted Answer

Mitral insufficiency: Mitral insufficiency is synonomous with mitral incompetence. It is when the valve doesn't close properly. This is like a door that doesn't close. The back leak of blood flow can be minor, moderate or major. Various causes of mitral valve insufficiency exist from congenital, through infections, damage to the support structures of the valve and other causes. Minor mitral leak can progress to worse

Question 10

what does 1.5 as opposed to 1+ mean in mitral regurgitation9p?

Accepted Answer

This is an old: Scoring system but unfortunately still used by some.  This likely correlates to mild to moderate regurgitation.
