Understanding Echo and EKG

[katz0619]

I have been told that I have mitral valve prolapse.  I need someone to help me interpret these test results:

MV 96
MV mild regurgitation
AV 3.1
AV gradient
AV trace regurgitation
TV velocity 0.6
TV trace regurgitation
LV  EF 65%
PA 31 mmgHG
Interven. Septum 1.0
Post LV Wall 1.0
RV 2.6

ST depression measuring 1.5 mm with holter ekg both up and at rest
low atrial or junctional rhythm, p waves inverted (53)

Is this a normal result?

Thanks so much for the help.  All was good today thus far.  The doctor wants to run a thallium stress test due to high cholesterol uncontrolled by medication and off and on hbp.  I will keep you updated.

MVP is almost always of no medical significance when described as mild, trace leakage and does not progress or cause a problem. The underlying cause can be elongated chord (hinges the leaflet to heart muscle, and when the heart pumps, the leaflets bellow into the upper chamber.  All valves listed are not considered a problem at the time (4 years ago).

The 65% EF is the amount of blood pumped with each heartbeat.  Normal is 55 to 75% approximately.

Interventricular septum 1.0cm is the wall that separates the two lower chambers. Normal is 0.6 to 1.1 cm.

PA 31 mm/HG is a little high but no significant.  Normal is about 25 mm/HG, but the pressure is not static and varies as does the system blood pressure.  If PA is pathologic, that would indicate the right side of the heat is pumping against higher than normal resistance with the underlying cause to be pulmonary vessel narrowed, clots, and lung problems.

Right ventricle is normal size.  If there were a PA problem the right ventricle would enlarge to composensate.

ST depressen greater than 2.0 elevation or depression could indicate ischemia (occluded vessels) and/or MI (myocardial infraction...heart attack and damaged heart cells).
Hope this helps and gives you a perspective and reference for your up coming test with you knew doctor.  Thanks for posting, and feel welcome to post the new results of your test.

Thanks. I don't know those answers. My cardiologist did these tests over four years ago.  He has retired and I have to have check up with new doc.

hello
Your echo is suggestive of prolapse of mitral valve.
If i need to interpret all these values i will have to  start from the anatomy of heart which i think wastage of my time.
you didnt mention in which leads you have the st depression.
