Question 1

the endometrium is abnormally thickened and measures up to 1.2 cm. 72 year old female no bleeding mean? on a x-ray? what are the odds it cancer?

Accepted Answer

Endometrium: Either ultrasound or some kinds of "x-rays" ( a CT for example) can measure endometrial thickening, which may be due to benign causes.  The measure you mentioned should be biopsied by a gyn surgeon to make certain the cells are not pre-cancerous, even if there has been no bleeding at this point. See your gyn provider for this fairly soon.

Question 5

i'm a 39 year old female who has a recent echocardiogram. showed mild mitral valve thickening and mild mitral regurgitation. should i be concerned or see a cardiologist.

Accepted Answer

No: That is a benign finding which is present in the majority of the healthy population when carefully assessed. You are not at risk of complications and need no further testing based on that finding.

Question 6

hi,i'm a 43 year old white female i had an echocardiogram done,and it said my heart was 65-70 percent borderline dilated la.mild mr.trace to mild tr.rvsp:20-30mmhg and mild mitral valve thickening.what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

: I assume you have a heart murmur. I also assume the 65-70 percent refers to the ejection fraction which is normal meaning your heart muscle is strong. You have mild mitral valve regurgitation causing the left atrium to be mildly dilated&amp;also causes mild elevation of systolic blood pressure of the pulmonary artery. You have very mild mitral valve disease which is best followed by a cardiologist.
