Echo Report Posted: 06-13-07 23:59pm


Hi all, I am a 39 year old female with aoric regurgitation. I found this out in 2005 but had some changes in echo done in 2006 it anyone can help me with the following report, let me thank you in advance. The inital test was done following an episode of synope, which at that time they also discovered an arachoid cyst in brain. The heart did slightly enlarge in a years time although still within normal range. 1. Aortic regurgitation went from mild to moderate. 2. Restrictive pattern of LV diastolic filling ( went from grade 2 to grade 3 or 4 dysfunction). 3. Estimated LV ejection fraction 60 to 65 %. (Last yr. was 55%, is this a good change?) 4. Left ventricular size is normal. 5. Mild tricuspid regurgitation. (no regurgitation last echo) 6. Mild mitral regurgitation. (no regurgitation last echo) 7. Dilated right ventricle. (Not dilated last echo) 8. Mild pulmonary regurgitation. (No regurgitation last echo) 9. Elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure. 10. No LV thrombus. I suffer from extreme fatigue, chest tightness, shortness of breath upon exercise or walking etc. My doctor said the right side of my heart was starting to fail and started me on 2 med.'s 5 pills a day. Should I be worried? What does all this mean in layman's terms. Anyone? Thanks for any replies. Sincerely, Lisa Reece
