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.

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.

View allI'm thinking about marrying a girl who's had heart valve surgery. She's 27 and on meds her cardiologist says she'll need forever. I'm worried about what this means for us, especially if we want to have kids. Could her medication cause any side effects or issues with pregnancy? And what should we expect for her health and our life together?

My sister was diagnosed with an SVT problem and the doctor prescribed her calaptin 120 mg. He did an echo and an ECG and mentioned everything looked normal. But when I checked the echo report myself, it mentioned trivial MR and trivial TR. The doctor didn't mention these. Should I be concerned about them?
The presence of trivial mitral regurgitation (MR) and trivial tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in the echo report is usually not a cause for concern. These are common findings in many individuals and are often considered normal variations. Trivial MR and TR typically do not require any specific treatment and do not usually impact a person's overall health. In your sister's case, since the doctor did not mention these findings and stated that the echo was normal, it is likely that these minor regurgitations are not clinically significant. However, if you have any concerns or if your sister experiences any new or worsening symptoms, it is always best to follow up with the prescribing doctor for further clarification and guidance. As for the prescribed medication, Calaptin 120 mg is a brand name for the drug Verapamil. It is commonly used to treat certain heart conditions, including supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). The usual dosage for Calaptin 120 mg in the treatment of SVT is typically one tablet to be taken orally, once or twice daily, as directed by the doctor.
