I have regular echo to monitor mitral regurgitation. Sometimes, the echo report shows aortic and/or tricuspid regurgitation. The mitral valve is the only valve which has a significant leak. The others show up on some tests, but not on others.
I don't think the arrythmia "causes" the regurgitation. But, I think that chronic pvcs make the heart work harder and that in turn, may affect the valves. Another great question!
