I'm looking at my 2D echo report and I'm a bit worried about my heart health. It says my mean PAP is 23.18 and PASP is 38mm Hg. There's also something about a peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity of 2.6, and it's noted as mild tricuspid regurgitation. The report mentions my ejection fraction is 60 and that I have good systolic function, with no diastolic dysfunction. I'm just wondering if there's a risk of pulmonary hypertension with these numbers?

Based on your 2D echo report, with a mean PAP of 23.18 and PASP of 38mm Hg, along with a peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity of 2.6 and mild tricuspid regurgitation, it indicates that there is a possibility of pulmonary hypertension. However, further evaluation and monitoring by a healthcare professional are recommended to determine the severity and appropriate treatment.

View allI'm having some mild shortness of breath along with chest tightness and a bit of back pain that spreads to my neck. I've done tests like ECG, echo, TMT, chest X-ray, diabetes checks, and PFT, and all came back normal, but my cholesterol was high. I'm taking Rosuvas for that and also Amlodipine for high blood pressure. My weight is 110 kg, and my BP is 14090. Should I be getting any more tests or changing my meds? I'm also in the process of trying to lose weight. What do you think?

I'm really anxious about my severe mitral valve stenosis. I had a balloon mitral valvotomy in February 2019, and the valve size is now 1.8. Could you tell me when I might need a valve replacement and what my life expectancy might be with this condition?
Based on the information you provided, since you have severe mitral valve stenosis and have already undergone Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty (BMV) in February 2019, with a resulting valve size of 1.8, it is important to monitor your symptoms closely. In cases of severe mitral valve stenosis, valve replacement may be necessary if symptoms persist or worsen despite previous interventions. For management of symptoms and to improve your quality of life, you can consider medications such as diuretics like Furosemide (Lasix) to help with fluid retention and Beta-blockers like Metoprolol to control heart rate. Additionally, anticoagulants like Warfarin may be prescribed to prevent blood clots. As for life expectancy with mitral valve stenosis, it can vary depending on the severity of the condition, response to treatment, and overall health of the individual. Regular follow-up with your cardiologist is crucial to monitor your condition and determine the best course of action.
