echocardiagram report

At a blood pressure of 140/90, i convinced my doctor to put me on medication to lower it especially after lifestyle changes (diet and exercise) did not do anything to lower it.  My ekg showed mild lvh and i went to a cardiologist .  I had an echo done and it showed normal right and left ventricular size and function however the mitral, aortic and tricuspid leaflets are mildly thickened, calcified.  the mitral and tricuspid vallves are redundant in motion and there is trace regurgiation.  my diastolic reading however is consistently 90 so the cardiologist put me on bp meds with a diuretic.

I had a stress/echo done and am waiting for the followup in a month.

should i be overly concerned.  I don't want to overreact yet i don't want to under react either


This discussion is related to mitral valve regurgitation.
