hi can anyone on here help me I just had echocardiogram and worried about lack of concern my Gp has I have asthma COPD and was told 2 years ago by A&E to give Gp abnormal ECG and severe lower limbs swelling the echo show’s problems with more than 2 valves also regurgitation in 3 different parts and moderately impaired in another valve. The percentage of outflow is 44% and also a leaky valve valve that I was at 50% and just plain and other problems, so if anyone can advise me if this needs attention as an urgent referral and not a referral for October

My breathing team has told me I should had been referred as urgent I am on medication for dilation in heat also GTN spray my Gp don’t want to know and told me blood flowing back to heart both LV and right

I can hopefully screen shot results I have thank you

You are reaching the group although I am finding it difficult to find your question. I had aortic stenosis and had a new heart valve in April 2022. I still have a small amount of regurgitation but I am enjoying life. I will look out for your reply.

Hi Mike this is what I was asking for advice for with below results of my echocardiogram

Thank you for your reply and if you could give me any advice I be grateful

normal. Normal LV wall thickness. The LV systolic

function by ejection fraction is globally moderately

impaired (EF 44% by Simpson's Biplane). Normal LV

longitudinal systolic function. Average global

longitudinal systolic strain by 2D echo is within

normal range (- 17%). Doppler parameters indicate

normal diastolic function.

Right Ventricle: The right ventricular cavity size is

normal. Normal right ventricular longitudinal

systolic function (TAPSE 2.0cm). Preserved RV radial

systolic function by visual estimation.

Left Atrium: Normal left atrial size

Right Atrium: Normal right atrial size

Aortic Valve: The aortic valve is tricuspid with thin

and mobile leaflets. No evidence of aortic stenosis.

Trivial aortic regurgitation.

Mitral Valve: The mitral valve leaflets are mildly

thickened with preserved mobility. Trivial mitral

regurgitation.

Tricuspid Valve: The tricuspid valve leaflets are thin

and mobile. Trivial tricuspid regurgitation.

Pulmonic Valve: The pulmonic valve leaflets are thin

with good mobility. There is no obvious pulmonic

regurgitation.

ASD/VSD: No evidence of interatrial communication by

color flow doppler analysis.

IVC: The inferior vena cava is of normal size (<2.1cm)

and is seen to collapse >50% with inspiration

(consistent with RA pressure of 3mmHg).

Pericardium: Small rim of Echo free space by RV free

wall may represent a rim of effusion or pericardial

I be great full for advice please Gp no help I also put
