Results Bad?
Echo Results. I Was curious if someone could tell me if my results are ok for me to continue my mountain biking hobby! I am 27 years old male 210 pounds 5'10.
Findings:
Left ventricle: Normal wall motion. LVEF 60-65%
Left atrium: Increased size
Aortic Valve: Trileaflet in morphology. Mild sclerosis. Peak gradient 3mmHg
Tricuspid Valve: Mild regurgitation. RSVP 27mmHg
Pericardium: Normal
Conclusions:
Normal LVEF
Mild TR
No pericardial effusion
Increased left atrial size.
I love mountain biking and it has become the best sport i ever did. I recently though started to rock climb. I want to just make sure at 27 years old I will not drop dead pushing myself! I currently take cholesterol medication because of genetics. This test is also from a year ago and the reason why i bring it up now is because my doctor said I should have another echo done to make sure everything is fine. She has never told me not to exercise!

You can go ahead and exercise without any reservations. Your heart function is normal and I am not concerned about the LA size or the mildly sclerotic AV.
