im a 34yr old female, generally in good health, i asked my gp for a heart exam for now as i had a heart check s few years ago but i never went back to get re examed life got in the way. however she said i dont need one to come back in a few years. however checking my report i cant help but question her decision. my left atrium is dilated mildly 4.27mm, i also have a trivial mitral regurgitation, and tivial tricupsid regurgitation. ejection fraction is 51% and rhythm is sinus. everything else in normal range. does anyone have any advice on this report and could things have progressed worse? its been two years since this report, the only thing i got out of the doctor was all is good. but i can see some abnormalities on this report and im scared.
