Would other parts of the report show this? Or what test in general? I was born with a murmur.Thanks!
No mention of prolapse but the mild MR can be overestimated by the reading cardiologist. It could be trace or trace-mild range. Your LA size is normal which tells me that the MR is not significant. Most women have physiologic MR, probably estrogen driven. I haven't seen any studies of what the cause of it. The rest of the report are normal and not a concern. I really don't think the mild MR is causing your SOB, fatigue, etc.. The murmur can be from the mild MR.. The only thing to rule out is if you have a PFO (patent foramen ovale) or an ASD (atrial septal defect), its congenital or something that you were born with. There's no mention of the IAS (interatrial septum) in the report. So we can't tell if you have a shunt, meaning a hole or communication between left and right chambers. If its positive for shunt, that can cause the SOB, etc.... Other thing that's possibly causing your symptom is the palpitations. If you get a run of irregular beats you'll definitely will feel it... You can also do a treadmill stress test or a stress echo to check for ekg changes and/or possible blockage during peak exercise, not the chemical or nuclear test.
