What Does Mild Mitral And Tricuspid Regurgitation And Mild Atrial Dilation Mean?

I am a 45 y/o female with obesity and OSA. I am having a left knee replacement in Nov. and the right knee in March. I had an echo. that says it s normal but I have mild mitral and tricuspid regurgitation and mild dialation of atrium. Is this a normal or abnormal finding? The cardiologist I saw last week recommended the Echo. If there was normal findings I would not need to go to a stress echo. On 10/20. I need cardio. clearance by my pre-op. 10/27. I found out today the cardiologist is gone for a month. I just wanted to know if these findings are within the normal limits of an echo.

Actually 2D echo is subjective. For Mild MR TR on echo butwithout symptoms, u don't need to worry. Still we need to see objective measurements , so send echo reports.
