These are my recent echo report results which I am having trouble interpreting.
Left ventricle: The left ventricular cavity is small. There is normal left ventricular wall thickness. Global left ventricular function is normal. Abnormal septal motion consistent with post-operative status. Diastolic function could not be assessed due to tachycardia.
Mitral valve: Normal. There is trace regurgitation.
Tricuspid valve: Normal. There is trace regurgitation.
Pulmonic valve: Normal. There is trace regurgitation.
Atrial septum: Appears normal without evidence of shunting by 2D imaging and color doppler. The interatrial septum is excessively mobile.
Aorta: The aorta at the level of the sinuses of valsalva is borderline dilated with a diameter of 3.4cm. The ascending aorta is normal in size with a diameter of 2.8cm.
