I'm a small female, 107 lbs, 52 yrs old, with possible mild asthma - severe allergies - and Raynaud's with no Rheumatoid Diseases. Healthy otherwise. I'm very concerned - please let me know if this is serious or not?
I recently had an echo with conclusions:
1. Left ventricular synergy (IS THIS GOOD OR BAD?)
2. Hyperdynamic left ventricle (EF = 75%) (IS THIS OK?)
3. Mild mitral regurgitation
4. Moderate tricuspid regurgitation (estimated pulmonary artery pressure = 40 mmHg) (A RECENT CHEST X-RAY SHOWED HYPERINFLATED LUNGS DUE MOST LIKELY TO ASTHMA - COULD I HAVE PULMONARY HYPERTENSION? Should I be concerned?) - A pulmonary function test 6 mo. ago was normal
Ejection Fraction is 75-77%
Fractional shortening is 45%
On the "Apical 4 chamber view", the Right ventricle and Right atrium appear somewhat enlarged. But on the m-mode echo, the right ventricle and left ventricle are normal. All four cavities are demonstrated. The tricuspid, aortic and mitral valves have normal spatial relation.
"Parasternal short-axis view": Wide open right ventricular outflow tract and main pulmonary artery.
Tricuspid and pulmonic valves move freely.
"Parasternal long-axis view": Right ventricle, aortic root and left atrium have normal spatial relation.
Doppler Measurements: Peak Volocity: Pulmonic Valve - .96
Aortic Valve - 1.10
Tricuspid Valve - .73
Mitral Valve - .99
Doppler flow analysis: Interrogation of the mitral, tricuspid, aortic and pulmonic valves was accomplished. There is systolic flow across the mitral valve into the low left atrium; systolic flow across the tricuspid valve in the low right atrium.
ON A SCALE OF 1-10, HOW SERIOUS IS IT?
Thank you for any help you can give me!
