I'm a bit confused about my previous diagnosis of mild mitral valve regurgitation. My old doctor assured me everything would be fine, but suggested a check-up around 2017-18 just for peace of mind. Another doctor on Practo agreed there was nothing major to worry about. But, sometimes I still feel something around the valve and it's kind of stuck in the back of my mind. Can you help me find some reputed doctors or clinics in Bangalore to get this checked out? I'd really appreciate any assistance with this.

I just got a new Dr. Morepen pulse oximeter and while checking my heart rate and oxygen levels, it showed a message about a suspected occasional short pulse interval. Should I be concerned about this? I had a mild Covid infection last year and experienced some palpitations afterward, which have since improved over time. After recovering, I did a holter monitor test that was normal except for Sinus Arrhythmia, which my doctor said was normal. My Echo test in October also came back normal. I often check my pulse rate and oxygen because of occasional palpitations since the Covid infection. Do you think I need more tests because of this short pulse interval message?
An echo is advised to the patient.

Could you explain what the echo report indicates? The patient already has two stents due to previous blockages, and I'm concerned about what that means for their current condition.
Based on the information provided, the echo report is likely showing the status of the heart and blood flow after the stent placement. It helps to assess the heart's pumping function, valve function, and any residual blockages in the coronary arteries. The patient may be prescribed medications such as Aspirin and Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots and maintain stent patency. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is important to monitor the heart's condition.
