Question 1

can trivial aortic regurgitation cause breathlessness or lightheadedness? should i be concerned about this finding on echo? no murmur heard on exam.

Accepted Answer

Aortic : No that should not cause any symptoms

Question 2

i have mvp with a ballerina foot pattern and trivial aortic regurgitation. how likely is this to get worse? is the ballerina foot cardiomyopathy?

Accepted Answer

There is no good: way to predict the progression of your MVP. The fact that you also may have aortic valve involvement would suggest on clinical grounds that you might be at more risk for progression than others but again there is no way to predict this with certainty. This is not a cardiomyopathy.

Question 3

concentric left ventricular remodeling, aortic sclerosis with trivial aortic regurgitation, anterior mitral valve prolapse with mild mitral regurgitation, mild tricuspid regurgitation and pulmonary regurgitation
how can this be treated? what it means?

Accepted Answer

Cardiologist: While mitral valve prolapse with some regurgitation is not uncommon in your age group, scarring of the aortic valve isn't and warrants an evaluation by a cardiologist. I would prefer to see trivial regurgitation of the tricuspid and pulmonary valves in the report as mild regurgitation sounds more significant although in your case these valves are probably OK.

Question 4

trivial aortic & mitral valve regurgitation. there appears to be a conal branch that comes off the right coronary artery. he is in end stage renal failure from pax2 gene renal coloboma syndrome. could have heart problems later in life. concerned nana?

Accepted Answer

: Will require dialysis or better still kidney transplant for end stage renal failure from RCS. Needs cardiac clearance prior to possible transplant.Requires opthalmic consultation as most RCS patients have significant eye problems also possible hearing deficits.Hope he is taken care of at major pediatric center as management of PBS requires experiened team including nephrologist, urologist &amp; others

Question 5

is aortic regurgitation hereditary?

Accepted Answer

Might be: Depending upon the cause of the aortic regurgitation (and there are many), the presence of a bicuspid aortic valve, as an example, may be hereditary.

Question 6

what can cause severe aortic regurgitation?

Accepted Answer

Many: Acute valvular bacterial or fungal endocarditis, trauma, acute aortic dissection, sinus of valsalva aneurysm, acute deceleration compressive aortic valve injury, trauma, to include some.

Question 7

what is the meaning of mild aortic regurgitation?

Accepted Answer

Leakage: The aortic valve, when closed, prevents blood from rushing back into the left ventricle from which it has just been expelled by contraction of that chamber during systole.  When there is some form of abnormality to the valve there may be leakage back into the left ventricle during diastole.  Therefore, the blood is regurgitating back.

Question 8

does strenuous exercise make aortic regurgitation?

Accepted Answer

No: But , severe aortic regurgitation can lead to heart failure and inability to exercise.

Question 9

i have mild to moderate aortic regurgitation. will it get worse?

Accepted Answer

Probably yes: This is a condition which generally does not remain stable with time.  Depending upon the cause of the regurgitation and your age you can expect that it will deteriorate with time.

Question 10

how come i have aortic regurgitation, but nobody else in the family has it?

Accepted Answer

Not inherited: Because there are many causes of aortic regurgitation that are not genetically linked.
