Question 1

does: trace pulmonic, trace mitral, and trivial tricuspid regurgitation always get worse? how fast does it get worse? can it ever stay the same/stay harmless and very mild for many years? can some foods effect them and make them go bad fast?

Accepted Answer

: No, varies person to person and can stay the same for years. Time will tell. If I were to guess I would think that a low salt diet which may lower your BP might help over time.  But discuss with Dr who has seen you and the echo.

Question 2

is zoloft at all safe to take for my bad anxiety/stress and depression if i have: incomplete right bundle branch block. and trace pulmonic, trace mitral, and trivial tricuspid regurgitations?

Accepted Answer

: While older antidepressants had potential adverse effects on cardiac conduction and could cause dangerous cardiac arrhythmias, SSRIs like Zoloft have not been shown to be such a potential problem in patients with conduction disturbances like bundle branch block &amp; won't aggravate valvular abnormalities. It is considered one of the go to antidepressants in patients with cardiac disease &amp; depression.

Question 3

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 4

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 5

what is the meaning of mitral and tricuspid regurgitation 1+?

Accepted Answer

Plus one: it usually means mild abnormalities

Question 6

is it serious when you are diagnosed with mitral and tricuspid regurgitation?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Almost 100% of the population has tricuspid regurgitation.  It's normal. Nearly everyone also has some degree, usually mild, of  mitral regurgitation.  The issue comes when either is severe.

Question 7

old echo determined trace mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. new one determined mild regurgitation of both.  does this mean it has worsened?

Accepted Answer

Not much difference: When your reports say or use words like: Mild, slight, it means that it is a minimal change. So you do not have to pay much attention to it although your doctor ordering such tests is obliged to interpret/explain to you what it all means. Have you gone back to see your doctor after the tests were done and completed?

Question 8

is trace mitral and tricuspid regurgitation something i should be worried about considering im in the military with a combat job and experiencing symptoms?

Accepted Answer

: What symptoms are you having? Typically, trace mitral regurgitation and tricuspid regurgitation do not cause clinical symptoms so perhaps your symptoms are related to something else. In either case, a cardiologist should be able to diagnose the etiology of your symptoms and give treatment, if needed. Best of luck to you!

Question 9

my echochardiogram states i have trace mitral  and tricuspid regurgitation and a bright perichardium. i had pericharditis in 2008. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See below : Have your cardiologist  follow up with u as it can cause a condition called constructive percarditis in future!

Question 10

can the left ventricular temporarily be dilated from mitral and tricuspid regurgitation? or is it permanent ? systolic and diastolic function normal

Accepted Answer

Question stream: Following your question stream you should see a cardiologist and be evaluated and be sure to ask the cardiologist the questions you placed here. Answers specific to you need to come from someone with the information specific to you.
