Is A Surgery Necessary For Mitral Regurgitation?
Question: Had an echocardiogram last month after I started having PACs. The size of the heart was normal, but there was a trace amount of mitral regurgitation. No wall abnormalities were noted. I have some high blood pressure, used to drink and smoke heavily. I quit drinking two and a half years ago, but still have a cigar a day. Should I be concerned or will I need surgery?
Brief Answer:
No surgery at this time!
Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.
I understand your worries. I have reviewed your information fully and this doesn't require surgery at this time. As long as there are no symptoms disturbing you, there is no reason for surgery. Keep calm and monitor only.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
