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

l5 and s 1 stenosis. is it a permanent condition?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Lumbar stenosis is typically does not resolve on its own. It usually from hypertrophied ligaments or bones. If, however, stenosis is secondary to a herniated disc, this may resolve on its own. Discs have a fluid-like component which can dessicate over time, and as the disc dries up it lifts pressure off the nerve roots.

Question 7

could meatal stenosis last forever?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It can be treated with surgery quit successfully

Question 8

what is the definition or description of: stenosis?

Accepted Answer

Stenosis: Constriction or narrowing of something - duct, artery, passage way such as the outlet of the stomach into the small intestine (called pyloric stenosis).

Question 9

what causes spinol stenosis? could it come from car accidents?

Accepted Answer

Many causes: There are many possible causes. It can be congenital from having a small spinal canal, it can be related to trauma, or it can just be degenerative from years of stress put on your back by day to day activities. Some of this can be determined by the appearance of the stenosis but some can't.

Question 10

what is stenosis and what will happen to the person who has it?

Accepted Answer

Abnormal narrowing: Stenosis is abnormal narrowing. But, "stenosis" tells us nothing about what is narrowing. After all, spinal stenosis is very different from coronary artery stenosis which is different from carotid stenosis which in turn is different from penile artery stenosis. However, last 3 arterial stenoses tend to lead to vascular events eg heart attack, stroke & erectile dysfunction while former causes pain.
