No you won't need surgery with mild to moderate mitral regurgitation, and your right ventricular systolic pressure is normal.
what about a thoracic aneurysm? the contant dizziness, nausea, pains radiating in chest and flank pain...? what test is needed to rule that out..? i hate when my dr. tell me i am too young for this...i want it ruled out.. the echo would have ruled out an aortic aneurysm, right?
