Accepted Answer

High heart rate can affect certain echo parameters, but in your case, with a heart rate of 130 due to anxiety, the echo report came back normal. Valvular diseases can still be detected even with a high heart rate. In your case, the echo report showed Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction and an ejection fraction of 54%. To further evaluate any valvular disease, you may need additional tests such as a Doppler echocardiogram. No specific medication is needed for Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, but it's important to manage any underlying conditions contributing to it.

I'm 26 and just got a report saying I have mild tricuspid regurgitation. I'm really worried about whether this could become moderate or even severe. How long does it usually take for this to progress? Please help, I'm pretty scared.

Accepted Answer

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) can progress over time, but it is not possible to predict exactly how long it will take to progress from mild to moderate or severe. The progression of TR can be influenced by various factors such as underlying heart conditions, lifestyle choices, and overall health. It is important to monitor your condition regularly with follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can discuss with your doctor about potential treatment options or lifestyle changes that can help manage TR and prevent it from worsening.

Accepted Answer

based on your test results, it seems like you have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, sinus tachycardia, and a normal Holter report. Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction is the mildest form of diastolic dysfunction and may not cause any symptoms. To help reverse diastolic dysfunction, it is important to focus on lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet low in salt, exercising regularly, managing stress, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. In terms of medication, your doctor may prescribe medications such as ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril or ARBs like Losartan to help improve heart function. It is also important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your condition and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. If you have any concerns or notice any new symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."
