Question 1

can you have trace mitral regurgitation but no heart murmur?

Accepted Answer

Mitral regurgitation: Our echocardiogram studies are so sensitive that they frequently show tiny amounts of insignificant valve leak, with trace mitral regurgitation being the commonest of these. It is not a concern. To have a murmur you have to have enough turbulent blood flow to make an audible noise.

Question 2

heart murmur with normal echocardiogram. only showed trace mitral & tricuspid valve regurgitation. does this mean murmur is benign?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A murmur is just a sound made by blood flowing through your heart and valves. If the Echo is normal, trace mitral and tricuspid regurgitation is probably normal for you. Benign means not indicative of pathology or not pathological. You have a benign murmur.

Question 3

echo: normal left ventricular size + wall thickness and wall motion, normal biventricular systolic function, mild mvp w/ trace regurgitation, ef 67%, rv systolic pressure 16mmhg, mild heart murmur. no symptoms. help! is this normal?

Accepted Answer

MVP: Your echocardiogram is not perfectly normal as it shows mild mitral valve prolapse. All other parameters are normal. MVP is very common and very often causes no problems. Nevertheless I recommend periodic follow-up by a cardiologist as the mvp can worsen, cause atrial arrhythmias and atypical chest discomfort. Very often a click can be heard on stethoscope examination of the heart.

Question 4

got echocardiogram done due to a heart murmur. echo shows mild mvp w/ trace regurgitation, ef 67%, no symptoms. help! is this really bad? pcp says its common in young thin women. just need yearly echo to follow up. can i still drink coffee?

Accepted Answer

Yes and its not bad: The doctor is correct this is common, very common to find MVP and trace regard, What it means is what you heart contracts the mitral valve leafs kind of bend backwards and open a little allowing a small amount of blood to flow backwards. Some patients feel palpitations, or have irregular heart bats that when worked up we find the MVP. You can drink coffee just in moderation

Question 5

i was told i have a heart murmur etch showed normal heart size no wall abnormalities but mild to moderate aortic regurgitation arota is normal size and function?

Accepted Answer

: Aortic regurgitation is often caused by a defect in the aortic valve.
As long as the regurgitation is small, you may not experience any symptoms. But excessive amounts over many years can cause strain on the left ventricle which can cause heart failure.
You should find a good cardiologist who can monitor your condition and offer further advice.
A poorly functionin Valve can be replaced if necessar

Question 6

how often should i visit a cardiologist, if i have been diagnosed with mitral prolapse, arrhythmea and a heart murmur. no regurgutation. i feel okay. ?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: No symptoms, no side effects from the medication and you are compliant with the medication i would suggest an exam every 6 months. But should you have chest pains even mild, shortness of breath and palpitations get to see the cardiologist right away.

Question 7

how do you treat a heart murmur?

Accepted Answer

It varies: A heart murmur is simply an extra sound coming from the heart. It does not necessarily mean there is a problem to treat. In fact, most children with heart murmurs have no heart disease at all. These are known as "innocent" murmurs. When the murmur is related to heart disease, the treatment depends upon the cause of the murmur ranging from observation to medications to catheter or surgical therapy.

Question 8

what does a slower heart murmur mean?

Accepted Answer

No idea: A heart murmur is the sound produce by turbulence as blood goes from one chamber of the heart to the next when the flow is not smooth. So it can be described as loud or soft,short or long but never "slow". You need to check if you have the right term .

Question 9

what symptoms are common in a heart murmur?

Accepted Answer

Heart murmur: Heart murmur is a sound made by turbulent blood flow in the heart, in and of itself it has no symptoms. When the murmur is caused by a significant functional abnormality, that may have symptoms.

Question 10

could a heart murmur be a cause for concern?

Accepted Answer

Depends: There are many different types of murmurs, not all are a problem. A good physical may be all that is needed . Other testing such as echocardiograhy can be very helpful. See your doctor.
