Mitral Valve Question

[DavesMom]

I had AV replacement/aneurysm repair in '99 (and an aortic commisuretomy in 79) so I have yearly echos, which have always been fine.

However, I recently got to looking at my echo reports and for the past two years a mild thickening of the mitral valve and mild mitral annular calcification have been noted. It also says the valve leaflet motion is well preserved. I've always seen the word "mild" and never paid much attention to the measurements. For some reason they just caught my attention and here they are:

2008
MV E point 109 cm/sec
MV A point 105 cm/sec
MV E/A 1.0
MV V2 max 148 cm/sec
MV V2 mean 91 cm/sec
MV max PG 9.0 mmHg
MV mean PG 4.0 mmHg

2009:
MV E point 125 cm/sec
MV A point 107 cm/sec
MV E/A 1.2
MV dec time 0.19 sec
There are no pressure gradients given for this one.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm assuming that the MV E/A measurement is the area of the mitral valve. Now if I read the Cleveland Clinic site correctly, 1.0-1.5 is considered moderate stenosis. Less than 1.0 is considered severe. The word "stenosis" has never been used on any of the reports, but am I correct in thinking that I have mitral stenosis?
I have my annual cardio appointment and echo next week so I'm just curious and will ask about it.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much. After what I went through with my aortic valve I just saw that 1.0 and 1.2 and started to worry. : )

Thanks again!

E/A ratio is an index of the diastolic function of the heart and is NOT used to quantify MV  stenosis.  Based on the gradient you provided here, mean of 4 mmHg, your MV stenosis is very mild and there doesn't appear to be any progression.
