About Me

Echo before Mitral Valve repair surgery: "The left atrium is severely dilated. There is 4+ (severe) mitral regurgitation." Echo 5 months after MV repair surgery: "The left atrium is normal. Compared to the previous study of 11/5/14, the mitral valve has been repaired with a reduction in left heart size. LV ejection fraction is slightly lower."
