Cardio echo

[cavie777]

Hello.

Thank you in advance for your time and advice!

I'm wondering if I have anything to be worried about; also what measures I might take to help mitigate any future issues (i.e., diet, exercise, supplements), and what type of follow-up tests or treatments I should request.

I am a 57 year old male and have been diagnosed with trace tricuspid regurgitaton, mild pulmonic regurgitation, and trace mitral regurgitation.

The echocardiogram report states:
Left Ventricular Structure: normal size & shape
Left Ventricular Function: overall function is within normal limits. EF 58% by MOD
LV Diastolic function: left ventricular function is normal
RV Structure & Functon: right ventricular function is normal
LA Structure: left atrium is normal in size
MV Structure & function: mitral valve is structurally normal; there is trace mitral regurgitation.
AV Structure & Function: the aortic valve is a tri-leaflet structure; there is no aortic regurgitation.
TV Structure & Function: structurally normal; there is trace tricuspid regurgitation; RSVP cannot be assessed due to lack of TR signal.
PV Structure & Function: the pulmonic valve is structurally normal; there is mild pulmonic regurgitation.
Aorta Structure: Ao root measures 3.9 cm; ascending Ao; Ao arch; abdominal Ao are normal.
Pericardium: ther pericardium is normal

Conclusion(s):
The left ventrical is normal in size and shape.
The overall left ventricular systolic function is within normal limits.
EF 58% by MOD.
Ao root measures 3.9 cm; ascending Ao; Ao arch; abdominal Ao are normal.

Hi,
     Your echo report is almost normal and these changes could be just age related. Trace regurgitation usually does not require any treatment as such. Do you have any symptoms or was it a regular check up? Are you a hypertensive? If yes then salt restriction, weight loss if over weight, adequate exercise, healthy life style habits, quitting smoking and alcohol along with regular follow ups with your cardiologist can help ensure healthy living. If with these measures blood pressures are not maintained in normal limits, then medication for it should be taken. Hope this helps. Best.

Your values look pretty normal to me.

What symptoms do you have?
Why the echo was made?
