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 are the signs of cuada equina and spinal stenosis?

Accepted Answer

Leg pain and weaknes: Spinal stenosis is generally a slowly progressive chronic condition associated with difficulty walking distances, standing for prolonged periods, and an almost absolute need to sit when the symptoms reach an intolerable point. Symptoms are gradually progressive over months usually. Classic findings are the need to stoop over a shopping cart while shopping and constantly looking for a place to sit.

Question 7

what are the typical signs and symptoms of mitral stenosis?

Accepted Answer

Many potn'l symptoms: Palpitations, chest pain, syncope, shortness of breath, respiratory failure, arrythmias - inluding atrial fibrillation, liver failure, edema, renal insufficiency, congestive heart failure.

Question 8

what's the sign in physical exam with which we can say aortic stenosis in a case is not severe?

Accepted Answer

Echocardiogram: In order to evaluate the severity of aortic stenosis you must have an echocardiogram. Several measurements are performed, including jet velocity and aortic valve area, that will determine the severity of stenosis. 
Physical exam findings are not consistent enough to be used as a determining factor for the degree of stenosis.

Question 9

what are usual signs of renal artery stenosis ?

Accepted Answer

High blood pressure: Renal artery stenosis is typically discovered for evaluation of high blood pressure.  Otherwise, it rarely would result in pain or other symptoms felt by a patient.

Question 10

could a rv 2.3cm (under2.5 norm), be an early sign of pulm stenosis? no symptoms, all echo findings were norm. no regurg in any valves. or is 2.3 ok?

Accepted Answer

Likely normal: In the absence of symptoms and no other electrocardiograph findings, this is most likley a normal value (assuming adequate r heart images were obtained). 2.3 is still within the standard deviation.
