2-D Echo report

I am 26 year old. Below are my 2D echo results:
Echocardiography shows thickened and doming mitral valve, MVA by planimetry 0.8 cm2
Dilated LA,RA,RV and MPA.
The interatrial septum bulged towards RA. No ASD.
The Dopler studies shows severe ms with severe PAH(PA pressure >60) with severe TR.
Can anyone tell me what is report says?

The report is very brief but it says that there is a problem with two of your heart valves.
The triscupid valve is leaking severely (TR= triscupid regurgitation) and the mitral valve does not open very well (mitral valve area MVA is well below normal).
This causes that your heart does not pump very efficiently and has to work (too) hard to supply your body of oxygen rich blood.
If such a condition remains for a longer period, the heart starts to compensate, leading to dilation of the heart chambers (dilation of LA, RA, RV).

What did your cardiologist say about it?

Hi there. I would advise you to talk to a good cardiologist, without delay. There are a number of issues that need to be treated or at least further investigation. Your doc has the full echo result, so go to them promptly. If you do nothing, the chambers of your heart will enlarge to compensate, down the line this will complicate the issues you already  have.
