A member asked:
I've read that even with trivial valves regurgitation presented it will worsen pulmo htn,&i have 3mild leaking valves&moderate pulm htn..is that true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pulmonary HTN: Some heart valve problems can damage the lung circulation & right side of the heart (pulmonary hypertension.) Mild valve disease is unlikely to cause this. Other causes of Pulm HTN are important to diagnose because they may lead to a treatment. Consultation with a cardiologist or pulmonologist experienced at treating Pulm HTN should define your options. 2nd opinion via Inbox consult on HealthTap
