Is there a way to manage mild TR or keep it stable over my lifetime? I'm 30 now and I'm really wondering how I can handle this situation.

For mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR), the focus is usually on managing any underlying conditions that may be causing the TR. In most cases, mild TR does not require specific treatment and can be managed by addressing the underlying cause. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet. In some cases, medications such as diuretics or ACE inhibitors may be prescribed to help manage symptoms or prevent the condition from worsening. However, the specific treatment plan will depend on the underlying cause of the TR and should be determined by a healthcare professional. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is important to monitor the condition and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. If you have any concerns or notice any changes in your symptoms, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm looking at my 2D echo report and trying to understand a couple of things. It mentions there's no regional wall motion abnormality and that my LV systolic function is good with a normal filling pattern. I'm relieved that there's no MR, AR, or precardial effusion, and no clots were found, but it says there's trivial TR and mild PAH. Could you help me understand what mild PAH means? From what you see in my report, how should I feel about these results overall?

That not a matter of concern just consume healthy diet and maintain regular physical activity follow your doctors advice

I'm really worried about my mom having to go through an angiogram and possibly getting a stent. She's 60 years old and on the heavier side. Do you think she'll be able to handle the pain from the procedure? Also, are there any serious risks or complications we should be aware of? Any advice would be really helpful.

At 60 years old, angiograms and stent procedures are routinely performed on patients in this age group, including those who are overweight. The procedure is generally considered safe when performed by experienced medical professionals, with serious complications being relatively rare (occurring in less than 1% of cases). However, like any medical procedure, there are some risks - these include bleeding at the catheter site, allergic reactions to the dye used, kidney problems, and in very rare cases, more serious complications. Your mother's doctors will carefully evaluate her overall health, including factors like her heart function, kidney function, and any other medical conditions, to ensure she can safely undergo the procedure. They'll also use appropriate pain management techniques during and after the procedure to keep her comfortable. The most important thing is to discuss any specific concerns with her healthcare team, as they know her complete medical history and can give personalized advice about her particular case.
