Question 1

preserved left ventricular systolic function with ejection rate of 55-60%. also trace regurgitation in mitral valve and tricuspid valve. i wont be hearing from the doctor until monday or tuesday and i am trying to figure out what those results mean?

Accepted Answer

: There are minimal changes, their significance has to be placed in current clinical context, nothing to do about until you see/ hear from your doctor.

Question 2

mitral valve with trace physiologic regurgitation, what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Very small leak: The mitral valve prevents blood from flowing backwards out of the main pumping chamber of the heart (left ventricle).  When a valve leaks we call this regugitation or insufficiency.  One method of describing a leak is to classify it as trivial or trace, mild, moderate, or severe.  A trace leak should not affect you heart in any way.  A lot of people of this and never need anything done for it.

Question 3

what is a trace of mitral valve regurgitation?

Question 4

i had my test results today and the findings are mitral mildly thickened leaflets. trace mitral valve valve regurgitation.please tell me if this could lead to surgery?

Accepted Answer

: The way the wording is used I feel they consider the findings present but minimal. Surgery is not an obvious choice, since the surgical approach would be to replace the valve. The wording does not suggest an immediate need for any treatment for the findings. Maybe if it worsened a few years or decades in the future, it would be an available option.

Question 5

echocardiogram results. mildly thick mitral valve. tricuspid valve structurally normal but, shows trace of regurgitation. ?

Accepted Answer

Both normal: Both are normal. All normal people have tricuspid regurgitation. This is a 100% normal finding. Thickening of the mitral valve is over-read. It appears in many reports. It has absolutely no clinical significance. Honestly! Please don't give it another thought.

Question 6

heart the mitral valve leaflets appeared thickened,there is a trace of tricuspid regurgitation & pulmonic valvular regurgitation. what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Mvp: These are common findings and unless mitral valve has a leak or narrowing , just requires being followed infrequently provided that you don't have other reasons to be followed more frequently by your doc

Question 7

does trace mitral valve regurgitation cause shortness of breath and palpitations?

Accepted Answer

No: No, it must be much worse to do that.

Question 8

what does aortic valve not well visualized in a echocardiogram mean? also trace mitral valve regurgitation?

Accepted Answer

: Not well-visualized aortic valve is a technical issue, either due to the technologist or your body habitus, so the cardiologist couldn't get any info about this valve by that echocardiogram. Unless cardiologist suspects any problem with this valve by heart exam then test can be redone; otherwise, you have nothing to worry. Trace mitral regurgitation is not a significant finding.

Question 9

heart ultra sound was all normal but it showed i had trace tricuspid & mitral valve regurgitation. is this norm? am i more susceptible 2 myocarditis?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This is normal.: Modern sensitive ultrasound machines will demonstrate trace mitral and tricuspid regurgitation in most individuals.  The valves do not hermetically seal when they close.  These findings are normal and do not increase your risk of endocarditis (valve infection).
