What Is The Treatment For Tricuspid Regurgitation And Shortness Of Breath?
I would like to know what a normal refraction rate is?
I have seen my mother's echo and it is showing mitral and tricuspid reguritation, but it also mentioned a refraction rate. She is experiencing shortness of breath, coughing, and abdominal swelling. I would just like to know what a "normal" rate is.

dear , iam sorry for your mother .. hope she gets well soon !
what you're asking about is called left ventricle ejection fraction rate and it's normally 55% or more
but for patients with mitral valve problems it's accepted to be lower and to some limits it shouldn't go below 30% (severe)
if she's following up with a cardiologist , you don't have to worry !
