New, please help me understand results

hi, I'm a 40 year old female who's had heart palpitations for several years and just got a full workup recently.  I just got my results and was wondering if someone can give me some insight before i see my doctor so i'll know what to ask and have some knowledge before i go.   here are my measurements:
LA Diametier 3.4      Diastolic LVPW 1.1
AO Root 3.0            Ejection Fraction % 0.0
AVIO Root 2.1         Fractional Shortening 0.0
Diastolic RVD 2.5
Diastolice IVS 1.1
Systolic LVD 2.9

Most things says normal except Right ventricle mildly dilated and a Cardiac MRI is recommended.  Inferior vena cava upper normal size and mildly reactive
Mitral Valve has trace regurgitation and pulmonary valve: trace insufficiency and Tricuspid Valve: Mild regurgitation
Pulmonary Artery systolic pressure:22mmHg

Any insight on these results will be greatly appreciated.

Liz

Thanks for your input.  I guess the 0.0 means they didn't record the results. That helps because I've been worrying myself in since yesterday.

Just a couple of things I know about.

LA Diameter: if this is Left Atrium and the 3.4 is centimeters, it is in high side of the normal range.  

EF of 0.0% can't be, I don't think one would be alive with a zero EF.

Valves with "mild" and "trace" problems are usually not problems and are not treated.  I had serious mitral valve problems and after a number of years had to undergo open heart surgery to repair the valve. That was done almost two years ago and I am doing fine.
