Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
Based on the cardiac echo results there's nothing to worry about. Your echo has nothing serios. You have a normal left ventricle (size and function) and normal heart valves.
The only abnormalities observed were:
- Mild diastolic disfunction whoch is a common findings at your age.
- Trivial (i.e minimal or trace) mitral and tricuspidal regurgitation (leakage). Please keep in mind that these are harmless echo findings and not a disease. Patients are asymptomatic.
- Mild atrial dilatatation which may cause palpitations and atrial arrhythmia.
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
