What Does This ECHO Test Report Indicate?
Question: Congenital heart disease. In Nov 2015, at age 36 undergone Pericardial patch closure of large ostium secondum ASD. Dec 2016 Echo report shows Gradient across pulmonary valve 26/11. Trivial PR. Mild PAH (RVSP- 43mmHg). Kindly opine on prognosis, complications, future treatment, need of hospitalization.
Brief Answer:
Good Prognosis, Medical management
Detailed Answer:
Hello
After going through the medical details provided by you of your patient i would like to tell you that as she was successfully operated for ASD closure and post operative recovery was uneventful so the prognosis will be good only, the patient will need to be on regular medications in future. No need of hospitalization unless some other medical issue arise.
The Echo report which is showing mild PAH and some gradient will settle down with the passage of time after successful surgery.
Hope this information will answer your query.
Kind Regards
