Can any of you decipher this. I don't know why it matters now as my surgery is Tuesday, but just curious. Here is my echo:
Good left ventricular function - no ejection franction 81%
Left atrium normal. Right atrium, right ventricle normal. No intracardiac masses. No pericardial effusion.
Mitral valve - mild mitral regurgitation
Aortic valve - calcification noted, mild aortic regurgitation. No intracardial masses and no pericardial effusion.
Tricuspid valve - a trace tricuspid regurgitation. No intracardiac masses or pericardial effusion.
Densely calcific aortic valve. There is evidence of aortic stenosis. Peak gradient 120 mm. Aortic valve area 0.9 cm2 which is indicative of severe degree of aortic stenosis. This is why I'm having surgery here.
I am just wondering because I see so many people on here having to do so many things while in surgery. I am under the impression it's just my aortic valve.
I take it no pericardial effusion and intracardiac masses is a good thing???
