Are Mild Tricuspid Regurgitation And Pulmonary Hypertension Caused By ASD?
My mom at 56 years (4ft 12 inch, normal bp, no sugar, no cholestrol issues), obese around 65 Kg has been recently diagnosed via an echo cardiogram to have an 15mm ASD. I also noticed that the report mentions the following (mild tricuspid regurgitation & mild pulmonary hyper tension)
Are these side effects of ASD? or was the ASD caused by these? Also, her echo cardiogram taken an year ago didn't show the ASD problem.
