I'm kind of worried about my recent heart echo results after having a COVID infection. It says I've got mild tricuspid and mitral regurgitation and borderline concentric hypertrophy. But it also mentions that my systolic function is good with an LVEF of 66, and that my cardiac valves look normal. There's no pulmonary arterial hypertension, intracardiac shunt, or pericardial effusion. Sometimes I get this weird feeling, like something's stuck on the left side, and then when it goes down, I can breathe a lot better. Other than that, I'm feeling okay. Should I be concerned about these findings? What do you suggest I do next?

There is no immediate cause for worry. The symptoms you are experiencing on the left side may be related to the mild regurgitation, but further evaluation may be needed to determine the exact cause. To address the mild tricuspid and mitral regurgitation, you can take medication like Losartan to help reduce the regurgitation and prevent any worsening of the condition. Additionally, Metoprolol can be prescribed to help manage any symptoms related to the regurgitation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management based on your symptoms and the echocardiogram findings. Regular monitoring and follow-up appointments will be essential to ensure your heart health is maintained.

I've been told I have a skipped heartbeat and trivial Mitral regurgitation, and the echo and Holter tests confirmed the Mitral regurgitation. I'm really curious about what this means for my daily life. How often can I live normally with this condition? Also, how long does it usually take for it to progress from trivial to mild or moderate?

Cardiologist opinion.
