ok, how about reguritation in all valves???

so if the pvc's arent enough, lol, the doc did mention that he could see my tricuspid valve have lots of regurg during the ablation, at last echo, i had mild regurg.......anyone ever hear of arrhythmia causing the regur, or if valve is a prob , is the arrythmia going to come back??? i will def ask at appt,  but i figured i would ask you guys first, lol
also, last echo, i had trace regur in aortic and pulmonic valves and mild in the mitral and trisuspid???
thanks again, lol

Hi Maria,

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!
