Phentermine and mitral valve prolapse

Common Questions and Answers about Phentermine and mitral valve prolapse

Avatar f tn Mitral valve prolapse does not lead endocarditis. Mitral valve prolapse is a condition in which the leaflets and tendon-like cords supporting the mitral valve weaken. The result is that with each contraction of the left ventricle, the valve leaflets bulge (prolapse) up into the left atrium. This common heart defect may prevent the mitral valve from closing tightly and lead to regurgitation. However, mitral valve prolapse is common and most people who have it never develop severe regurgitation.
Avatar f tn This common heart defect may prevent the mitral valve from closing tightly and lead to regurgitation. Mitral valve prolapse is common. Many who have it never develop severe regurgitation. If not treated, mitral valve regurgitation can lead to congestive heart failure. Treatment depends on the severity of regurgitation, how far mitral valve disease has progressed, and signs and symptoms of the disease.
Avatar m tn Thickened mitral valve leaflets with prolapse oh the anterior leaflet (a2 and a3) with mild regurgitation. Thickened roght coronary cusp and non coronary cusp without restriction of motion. What is the meaning of this? And can it be prevented? Is there a solution or medicine?
Avatar f tn s possible that you have what is known as Mitral Valve Prolapse Dysautonomia (may also be called Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome, Orthostatic Intolerance Associated with Mitral Valve Prolapse, or POTS/Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome Associated with Mitral Valve Prolapse).
Avatar n tn QUOTE from MedNet: "Most people with mitral valve prolapse have no symptoms, however, those who do commonly complain of symptoms such as fatigue, palpitations, chest pain, anxiety, and migraine headaches. Stroke is a very rare complication of mitral valve prolapse". I qualified my answer with slight MVP. If MVP has moderate to severe regurgitation there will be symptoms related to low cardiac output...
Avatar m tn Mitral valve prolapse due to Myxomatous degeneration causes the body of the mitral valve leaflets to prolapse into the left atrium in systole. "Redundant leaflets" (thickened in this context) is commonly used to describe the characteristics of the valve leaflets in mitral valve prolapse. My question; how is it that the valve leaflet is redundant (thickened), and not thinned considering that the cause of this condition is myxomatous "degeneration"?
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse and doctor said that I should not lift more than 30kg is it safe to do push-ups and pull-ups/chin-ups
Avatar m tn mitral valve prolapse, trivial mitral valve insufficiency; physiologic tricuspid insufficiency; physiologic pulmonic insufficiency; pulmonary artery systolic pressure 29 mmHg. Can someone explain these echo findings to me? I am particularly interested in how serious the valve issues are and what to expect next.
Avatar f tn And how closely are your heart and lungs related over the past year also found out I have mitral valve prolapse and had costcondritis(i think thats how u spell it swelling of the heart walls)just wondering if ALL this could be related?
Avatar f tn Was diagnosed aged 20 with mitral valve prolapse and mild regurgitation..25 years later most echos show no sign of regurgitation though..Can I take amoxicillin afterwards??
214529 tn?1333303619 Normal mitral valve leaflet excursion. No mitral regurgitation Tricuspid Valve: Normal leaflet excursion. Trace regurgitation Pulmonic Valve: not well visualized Pericardium: No pericardial effusion Aorta: aortic root appears normal Mass: No thrombus, mass or vegetation ITS REALLY WEIRD THAT ONE YEAR I HAVE MITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE AND ANOTHER IT DOESNT SHOW? WHY IS THAT? DOES THIS NUMBERS LOOK GOOD?
Avatar n tn s typically because blood is leaking backward through the valve (regurgitation). Mitral valve prolapse symptoms can vary widely from one person to another.
Avatar f tn Severe mitral valve prolapse would not produce a normal echocardiogram. Valve prolapse indicates when the heart pumps the pressure billows the leaflets back into the upper chamber rather than pumped into circulation, and an echo would reveal mitral severe valve regurgitation. It is possible there is an error in the report . Mild MVP is medically insignificant.
Avatar m tn the valve is buckling causing it to not shut properly and and some blood is flowing backwards. Huh ? this is what mitral valve prolapse is. So he is says well I could take randon people and at least 3 of them would have this. Well I said Primary Dr says she hears a murmur. than he says oh that is nothing You know how many people have murmurs. Anyways I was diagnosed in the 70's with this and have had all the symptoms. Pains in my arm.
Avatar n tn The mitral valve is made up of the annulus, anterior and posterior leaflets, and chordae, which attach the leaflets to their respective papillary muscles. A normally functioning valve allows blood to flow unimpeded from the left atrium to the left ventricle during diastole and prevents regurgitation during systole. Normal mitral valve function is dependent not only on the integrity of the underlying valvular structure, but on that of the adjacent myocardium as well.
Avatar m tn Hii I took echo test and its shows mitral valve- AML myxomatous, No prolapse and septae - IVS & IAS INTACT. Can any1 pls suggest.
Avatar n tn Intact systolic heart function with mitral regurgitation, mitral valve prolapse, aortic valve thickening, tricuspid valve prolapse, and tricuspid regurgitation with mild increase in estimated pulmonary pressure.
